Chapter 324: Sending Off
Ogasawara Genta turned his head to look at the battleship that was moving away, sighed lightly, and continued, "A few days ago, my wife's family came to join me. ”
"Huh?" Minoru Saito, who was short in stature, looked up at him with a puzzled expression. Didn't understand what he was doing with this.
Ogasa Harata smiled bitterly and said, "Our life is really good now. You don't know what to do, but now the whole country is in the midst of a great famine! Violence continues everywhere, and the cabinet can't suppress it at all! My wife's family couldn't stand the hunger anymore and came to us for refuge! ”
"How is that possible!" Minoru Saito pushed his round-rimmed glasses and shouted with surprise on his face, "Didn't all countries send rescue?" Also, let's not talk about how much money the bastards in the cabinet sold so much national interests in exchange. Just how much money did the devil in Gaoyang give to buy ships and munitions factories? How much food can this money buy? How can there still be a famine? ”
Ogasawara Genta stretched out his hand to cover his forehead, and said helplessly, "Old classmate, you hide in the office all day long and draw drawings, where will you know these things!" ”
sighed, looked at the crowd around him that had gradually dispersed, and said in a low voice, "Now the rich people in China have gone abroad!" Those who were left behind were poor ghosts who had no money and no means. As for the money, the bureaucrats in the Cabinet are all stuck, saying that they are ready to buy basic industrial equipment from the United States and reorganize industry. Didn't go to buy food at all! Now people everywhere else are living on handout. If you think about it, you know how to eat enough relief! Those who are dying of starvation can only go and rob them. And then it's the army to suppress it! Now the whole country is in chaos. ”
"How so?!" The Great Japanese Empire, which was originally extremely powerful in Saito's solid heart and thriving in national power, has become what it is now? This made him unable to accept it at all, so he could only stand there stunned, constantly muttering in his mouth.
Genta Ogasawara looked at the nerdy classmate with a sluggish expression, shook his head, and walked out with his shoulders around him.
As he walked, he said, "What do you want to do now!" We have no control over the fate of others or the fate of the country. The bonus was just handed out, and we went to the liquor house for a drink. If you don't get drunk, you can't go home! There must be a lot of people today, and if you go late, there will be no place. ”
Japan, which has no hope, is over.
As the sky began to darken, the Akagi and Kaga, as well as the battlecruiser Kongo, which had just completed repairs, turned their bows and slowly sailed in the direction of Qingdao Port, surrounded by the escort fleet that had come to meet them.
According to Gao Yang's order, all warships obtained from Japan were retained in their original names, which was to alert themselves and at the same time insult the enemy.
The drawings of the new warships of all types have been completed. Construction is about to begin.
Gao Yang's requirements are simple, he must always maintain a leading edge in technology. Strong military strength is the strongest backing for all interests.
A few days later, the British, who had already made up their minds, sent the most rebellious ultimatum.
The diplomatic note was full of various conditions that Gao Yang would never accept. Unsurprisingly, Gao Yang refused. Then, the war began.
Gao Yang did not wait for the British to continue to complete their diplomatic procedures, he chose to declare war directly on the British! Since you want to fight, then show your determination in the most direct way!
The British, who knew the importance of the war, began to assemble the main naval fleet on their own soil, and the scale of the war shocked everyone.
The British military power in the Far East was completely reduced to the area around Singapore. Prepare to hold the Strait of Malacca and wait for the arrival of the main fleet of their own navy.
They are confident!
The main forces of the Gaoyang Army were pinned down in the north. As for his navy. Even the fleet was an old second-hand product sold to them by the British. After getting a large number of new fighters, the British were full of confidence to bring Gao Yang, the hateful challenger, back to their original form at once!
Gao Yang was also unceremonious, and directly sent troops to recapture Hong Kong, which was already defenseless, and pulled out this important nail. At the same time, British assets were seized nationwide. Arrest all Britons!
Anyway, it's already turned around, what kind of gentlemanly demeanor will it be? It's a war!
After the two sides declared war, the only countries that followed the British closely for the time being were the Netherlands and Portugal, both of which had enmity with Gaoyang. But they're just a scene. They don't have the strength to get in.
The rest of the country is waiting and seeing. After all, Gao Yang has already shown his great strength in many previous wars. Even if they are not optimistic about Gao Yang, they are not willing to jump out directly when Gao Yang's strength still exists.
Gao Yang did not hesitate. I don't even want to say anything more nonsense, just open the whole thing.
The first to strike were the Japanese mercenary units stationed in Pontianak.
These unemployed former professional soldiers, under the cover of warships of the Republic of Lanfang, landed all over the Dutch East Indies.
The battered Dutch had little resistance at all, so they had to shrink their strength to Batavia and Sumatra and wait for reinforcements.
These are inconsequential things in the South Seas, and it is the decisive naval battle that can really decide the fate of this war.
Qingdao Naval Base.
The sky was cloudy and dark. The sea is windy, the wind is high and the waves are fierce. The surging waves crashed against the coastal reef, whipping up huge white splashes in all directions.
The fishy smell of the sea breeze whistled across the shore, bringing the windbreaker of Gao Yang to hunt.
Gao Yang stood alone on the top of a hill on the shore against the raging sea breeze. A crisp new military uniform, long black military boots, and a gray trench coat over it.
The resolute contours of the face flutter gently under the strong sea breeze.
His face was indifferent, he frowned slightly, and his eyes showed a thick tiredness. He had come to see off the naval fleet on its way.
The main fleet of the Navy, which has been rested, is leaving the port one after another at this moment. This is the largest naval fleet in the Far East, and it is also the third most powerful naval force in the world!
At this moment, this great fleet, which is full of the ardent hopes of countless people, is about to sail into the distance and rush to the battlefield that will determine the fate of the country!
At such an important moment, how could Gao Yang not appear!
"Worried?" Yuan asked softly.
Gao Yang clutched the windbreaker tightly with both hands, raised his chin slightly, and whispered, "What are you worried about?" Worried about not being able to beat the British? ”
"No matter how you say it, it is the overlord of the world world for hundreds of years, and the naval spirit that has been inherited for hundreds of years plus the first naval fleet of the world world is strong. How long has your fleet been in existence? Although it is considered strong, it is compared to the British. Inferior in every way. In case the naval battle is lost," Origin carefully analyzed.
"It's okay if you lose!" Gao Yang interrupted it in a deep voice.
Pursing the corners of his mouth, he reached out and lowered his hat, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not afraid of losing!" If it doesn't work, just send the British into the sea with anti-ship missiles! Isn't it just a power point? ”
"Have you made a lot of money lately? Not cautious anymore? The origin said with a hint of teasing.
Gao Yang has always been cautious, and he didn't dare to use energy points for fear of wasting. What's going on today? Is it because the battle in the north went smoothly and became generous after earning a lot of energy points?
Gao Yang curled the corners of his mouth, and said in a lazy voice, "As long as you can win, you can earn back as much as you use, and this cost is nothing." ”
As long as he can defeat the British, Gao Yang can gain a huge amount of power points. Compared with. The cost of anti-ship missiles is really not much.
"Then why do you want the fleet to go to a decisive battle? Directly, wouldn't it be simpler to sink all the British Navy with anti-ship missiles? Yuan asked with confusion.
Is there an easy way not to use it, but let your subordinates risk their lives to fight? The origin doesn't understand what Gao Yang thinks.
Gao Yang turned around and walked a few steps, coming behind a boulder to take a short shelter from the wind.
With his back to the wind, he took out his cigarette and lit it. He said lightly, "I can't stay here forever." Even if I sink all the warships in the world, let's not talk about whether there are enough missiles. Even if I did, would I be able to blow up all the shipyards in the world? Eventually, they will develop again. ”
Spit out the smoke ring, and then say, "What will I do when I leave?" What is the Centennial Navy called? That's because they're not the same as the Army! An army soldier only needs to train for three months and issue a rifle on the battlefield. As long as he can survive, he is a veteran. But the navy can't, without the precipitation and accumulation of time, no matter how strong it is, it will always be just an upstart. ”
The 100-year-old navy is not talking. That's what it takes to accumulate and sacrifice a lot!
"They will never really grow up without going through a brutal war. If the navy wants to truly rise, it must defeat a powerful enemy! Gao Yang said in a low voice.
If Gao Yang shoots directly. The Great Fleet will never really grow.
The expression on his face changed, he sighed lightly, and said, "The British are also defeating the Spanish Armada. After defeating the Dutch, and finally defeating the French in the Battle of Trafalgar, he finally established himself as a global supremacy! Even the Japanese Navy defeated the Beiyang Fleet and defeated the Russian Fleet in the Tsushima Strait to dominate the Western Pacific! ”
This is the only way for all navies to rise. Every rise of a strong navy is to step on the corpse of a powerful adversary.
"You want them to defeat the British head-on, so as to seize the hegemony of the planet with dignity?" Origin asked.
Gao Yang nodded, looked at the naval fleet looming on the sea in the distance, and said in a low voice, "The navy has risen too fast, this is because with external help, their foundation is not strong. ”
This navy is too young, they don't have time to precipitate, and they have directly transformed from an inaccessible navy to a top navy in the world!
Although he defeated the Japanese Navy, he still lacked confidence!
Rubbing his hands, he added, "Now that they have the most advanced weapons and tactics, the best time to fight, this is their best chance!" As long as they can win, they will be ready for any challenge for at least the next ten years! ”
The advanced aviation tactics are equipped with weapons and equipment that are at least one era behind, plus the super-era reconnaissance means provided by Gao Yang. As long as nothing too big a mistake occurred, victory in this naval battle would not be difficult.
All they lack is faith and courage! (To be continued......)
