What Chen Shaokuan wants to do most now is to personally command the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy and fight the Japanese Navy with real weapons!

It's a pity that the little devil is now as well-behaved as the third grandson.

Less than an hour after the Seventh Fleet arrived in Jakarta, Chen Shaokuan received a telegram request from Tabun Yamaguchi, commander of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet.

Yamaguchi Tabun very politely claimed that in order to strengthen exchanges and cooperation between the navies of East and Japan, he would like to bring senior officers of the Third Fleet to visit and study the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy.

In this regard, Chen Shaokuan did not refuse. Because, before coming to Jakarta, His Majesty Cheng Gong had explained to him that the little devils would let them come if they wanted to, and the techniques used by the warships of the Royal Navy of Donghua were not something that others could learn at a glance.

The headquarters of the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy, Donghua Prefecture, is located in Zhonghai City (Jakarta), Zhonghai Prefecture, and the station plan includes Zhanjiang Naval Base (Banda Aceh), Fuzhou Base (Dumai), Qingdao Naval Base (Wurong Pandang), Dalian Naval Base (Surabaya), Huludao Base (Tanjung Pinang), Yulin Base (Latai Port), Ningbo Base (Belao Bay) and other places. Ground has now begun on all sites, with the first phase expected to be completed within a year.

The Seventh Fleet has 60 warships, 350 warplanes, and a full fleet strength of 60,000 men. This includes 38,000 naval officers and 22,000 marines. The aircraft carrier battle group, which is mainly composed of the "Baiqi" aircraft carrier, is the main combat force, supplemented by land-based aviation and marines.

At present, it has one flagship, the "White Qi", a conventionally powered aircraft carrier, four Shield-class cruisers (Ticonderoga-class), 20 Warrior-class destroyers and Guardian-class frigates (Arleigh Burke-class and Perry-class), six Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines, eight amphibious landing ships and dock landing ships, four all-round fast combat support ships, 48 022 modified stealth missile boats, and several hovercraft and auxiliary vessels.

The Seventh Fleet has two types of fleet establishments: administrative and task force command establishments.

The administrative establishment is divided into three levels: headquarters, brigade and squadron. The command part is the surface ship command and the submarine command. The Surface Ship Command is in charge of all surface ships except aircraft carriers, and has nine squadrons under its jurisdiction and four squadrons under various brigades. The Submarine Command is in charge of all submarines, and has four submarine groups, each with two squadrons. A conventional submarine squadron is generally composed of six conventionally powered diesel-electric submarines (Kilo-class), while a nuclear submarine squadron is composed of ten submarines (Seawolf class).

Seventh Fleet Combat Command/Task Force 70: The main force of the Seventh Fleet consists of two parts, namely the 7th Carrier Strike Group with the "White Rise" as the core and the 7th Carrier Air Wing on board, and the 15th Destroyer Squadron, which is composed of destroyers. It is stationed at the military port of Zhonghai City, Mediterranean Prefecture.

1st Naval Special Operations Unit Command/Task Force 71: Mainly composed of the 1st Naval Special Operations Unit and the 5th Naval Explosives Handling Mobile Team, based in Fuzhou.

Seventh Fleet Patrol and Reconnaissance Command/Task Force 72: Consists of several land-based anti-submarine and reconnaissance units based at Dalian and Huludao Naval Bases in Zhonghai Prefecture, with headquarters at Dalian Naval Base.

Western Pacific Logistics Command/Task Force 73: Based at Qingdao Naval Base.

Seventh Fleet Submarine Command/Task Force 74: Based at Yulin Naval Base.

Royal Navy Expeditionary Force Pacific Command/Task Force 75: Based in Fuzhou.

7th Air Force Amphibious Operations Command/Task Force 76: Based at Ningbo Naval Base.

Seventh Fleet Landing Force Command/Task Force 77: Based in Fuzhou.

The Seventh Fleet is currently the Royal Navy's largest overseas front-line projection force, used to intimidate enemy nations, cooperate with allies, protect sea lanes, assist in the defense of allies in the Donghua Empire, and use force when intimidation fails. In addition, it also served as a mobile fleet for the Donghua Empire's military operations abroad.

It is precisely because the Seventh Fleet undertakes such an important function that Chen Jiliang, Ouyang Jingxiu and others will fight for each other and almost fight. In the end, he was ordered by His Majesty Cheng Gong.

The task is heavy, and the corresponding pressure is also great.

Chen Shaokuan knew very well in his heart that Chen Jiliang, Ouyang Jingxiu, Zeng Wanli, Rao Huaiwen and other "ill-intentioned" guys were waiting to see his laughter.

In the words of these guys, the various types of ships under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Fleet are too precious! It's definitely not something that ordinary people can play!

Chen Shaokuan knew that these colleagues were not "intimidating" him. Moreover, His Majesty Cheng Gong also clearly instructed that the greatest task of the Seventh Fleet at present is to continuously train and strengthen study, learn in training, and use study to drive training.

The emperor's will, Chen Shaokuan is naturally always in mind. Moreover, he, the commander of the fleet, also took responsibility for himself, played a very good leading role, and took the ship as his home every day, so that none of the other captains and deputy captains dared to easily get off the ship and go ashore for entertainment and relaxation.

At about half past five in the afternoon, Xue Boling, governor of Zhonghai Prefecture, and Qiu Qingquan, commander of the First Group Army of the Royal Donghua Army, took their respective adjutants and guards and boarded Chen Shaokuan's "Baiqi" aircraft carrier in a traffic boat.

Chen Shaokuan personally greeted him on the side of the ship, everyone was originally acquaintances, since following Cheng Gong to work hard overseas, there is no intrigue between everyone in the previous period in the national government, and there is a little more comrade-in-arms robes.

Standing on the huge flight deck of the "Baiqi", looking at the neatly arranged carrier-based planes and the superstructure of the ship island full of modernity, Xue Boling's mouth kept "tsk", and he said with emotion: "Brother Houfu, your aircraft carrier dream has finally come true!" What a joy! ”

Chen Shaokuan clasped his hands into fists and arched towards the east, and laughed loudly: "This is thanks to our saint!" Compared with our saints, those bullshit emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty really lived to dogs! ”

"If the imperial system can allow us soldiers to gain prestige overseas, expand the territory, and tear the land to seal the marquis, I would rather such an imperial system forever!" Xue Boling also arched to the east with his fists in both hands, and said solemnly: "Our saint, there is no ancient, no one will come after, and the achievements of the country and mountains are in the present generation, and the benefits are in the future!" Brother Houfu, you have not gone ashore, when you go ashore to meet those old overseas Chinese who have lived in Nanyang for more than three generations, and listen to their voices, you will be able to understand my feelings. ”

"How can the merits of the saints be summed up in words?" Qiu Qingquan arched his hand facing the east, and said solemnly: "No matter which dynasty, generation, or prosperous era, it can't be compared with the prosperous Jincheng era created by our saint!" The so-called Qin Emperor Han Wu is also inferior by three points in front of our Jincheng Emperor! I, Qiu Qingquan, have made the wisest choice in my life, which is to follow the Holy One! The overseas sky is really much wider and clearer than at home! ”

"yes, yes! Those of us who are fortunate to have the honor to follow the saint on an expedition overseas, it is really the accumulation of virtue by the ancestors, and the green smoke of the ancestral tomb is thousands of feet high! As a former naval general of the Nationalist Government, Chen Shaokuan's feelings were obviously much deeper than those of the two army generals, Xue Boling and Qiu Yu'an, who looked at the group of warships around the "Bai Qi" and said loudly and arrogantly: "Brother Boling, Brother Yu'an, you may not know that with this fleet, I, Chen Houfu, dare to challenge the entire combined fleet of the Japanese Navy!" ”

"Hahaha, Lao Tzu has a regiment, and he can beat a devil and a division to copy his teeth all over the ground!" Qiu Qingquan laughed and said: "I really expect the little devil to suddenly lose his mind and go crazy, like that Australian kangaroo, to challenge the dignity of our Great Donghua Empire!" ”
