Chapter 657: On the eve of the war
"This cannon is too powerful, it's like a cannon hitting ants."
When Zhang Bing saw that on the real-time transmission of the battlefield screen, the small sampan from the Principality of Ranke was smashed by a main cannon full of destruction from the Zhonghua, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Zhang Shusheng patted him on the head, this kid stayed in the body of the simulated robot, running around all day long, many people even mistakenly thought it was his illegitimate son, and later learned that it was a robot.
Zhang Bing is too human.
"In fact, it is enough to use secondary artillery, but the momentum is not so majestic. This cannon is not just to destroy it. It's a great inspiring opportunity to make a documentary about this fight back against the invaders and see it on TV tomorrow. ”
As long as the other party does not surrender at the first time, it must resolutely use the main artillery to destroy it, which is an order given by Zhang Shusheng himself.
He already smelled the smell of war, the Duchy of Ranke is not a rookie like the Garimo family, although the empire is no longer the guerrillas of the original two or three battleships, but on the whole, the war will not be particularly smooth, and there will be a certain stalemate.
At this time, it is of great benefit to publicize the majesty of the emperor's [***] army in advance and stand firm on the moral height, which is a long war.
Zhang Bing: "Boss, although the Principality of Ranke has just been promoted to a second-level civilization for about two hundred years, their strength is still not something we can resist, you have to find a way as soon as possible." ”
Zhang Shusheng nodded, the method was naturally thought of, and it was a complete set.
Fighting a war is certain, this is a frontal battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, the empire will face the battle with the strength of the whole country, at least in the early stage.
"If the Lanks dare to mobilize a large number of troops, then the Longshan people and those first-level civilizations like tigers and wolves around it will not sit idly by, this is a great opportunity.
It's called psychological warfare to the enemy's homeland, to the enemy's enemy. ”
The enemy of your enemy is your temporary friend.
"Huh? Disinformation? I love it so much, boss, you must leave this job to me. ”
Zhang Bing's eyes lit up, he liked this thing, and it was the most fun to spread rumors or something.
Zhang Shusheng: "Well, you first investigate the transfer of the Ranke military, and then fabricate some information and distribute it on the virtual network, which will first cause the passivity of the Rankers and delay their transfer."
If necessary, you can pay to hire some detectives and intelligence organizations near Ranke to get confidential information about their military movements. ”
There will be a lot of inadvertent information flowing out of the virtual network.
For example, when the army is transferred, some soldiers will travel with the warship, and among these soldiers, there will always be some soldiers or officers who will disclose the news to their families.
At this time, these family members will reveal clues on the virtual network and in the virtual social network.
Zhang Bing, who is equivalent to a super search engine, is best at finding a needle in a haystack.
And the transfer of the emperor [***] side is also in full swing.
"Woo woo woo ......"
The Imperial First Fleet, located on the Moon, is home to two huge adjacent spaceports, one might even say the twin spaceports.
Urgent operational sirens were buzzing, echoing throughout the spaceport.
Some of the soldiers who were on vacation on Earth had been urgently sent back by a small transport spaceship, and after a day's rest, the whole army was ready to go.
On the anti-gravity maglev passages leading to the battleship, countless officers and soldiers were advancing rapidly, and soon they had boarded the ship.
"The First Squadron is all ready!"
Sun Xiwu personally sat on a G-type reinforced battleship of the Black Plus Empire, which also had dual main guns, although it was not as powerful as the Shenlong-class battleship, but the overall surname was similar to that of the Tianlong-class battleship.
However, the number of battleships exchanged by Zhang Shusheng is not large, and it will not be exchanged in large quantities in the future.
"The first detachment took off one after another according to the number of battleships."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
Sun Xiwu is the commander of the warship command of the Space Command, and this war is imminent, and he is responsible for commanding the overall situation together with Jiang Baili and others, and the military minister Jiang Baili, the deputy military affairs minister Su Yuren, the battleship commander Sun Xiwu, and the deputy commander Qin Baijiang constitute the command layer of this war.
"The second squadron is all ready!"
"The second detachment took off one after another according to the number of battleships. The 1st and 2nd fleets formed a battleship formation as originally planned, joined up with the transport ship formation, and prepared to set sail. ”
Sun Xiwu ordered in one breath.
According to the battle plan, in this war, the first combat forces of the empire to join mainly include the first and second fleets, the third fleet, and the Zhonghua.
Now in the empire, except for a few Shenlong-class battleships and Tianlong-class battleships under construction, the total number of capital battleships has not changed much from a year ago.
As of now, the empire has a total of 41 battleships, 19 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and 18 transports. These are the main types of ships capable of long-distance operations.
The First Fleet of the Empire consisted of three sub-fleets, each with 10 battleships, 5 cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 4 transports.
The remaining 10 battleships, 4 heavy cruisers and 2 destroyers, as well as the super battleship Zhonghua, formed the Imperial Guard.
In this operation, Zhang Shusheng decided to invest a total of 30 battleships, 15 cruisers, 6 destroyers, and 12 transport ships in the first batch to form a fleet with strong strength.
The remaining Guards will be responsible for the defense of the Trident Galaxy, the Gemini Galaxy (Changqing-Avatar), and the Earth's mainland.
In the absence of a strong external enemy, such a force is already strong enough.
If the war is urgent, part of the support to the front line can also be deployed.
In addition to these capital ships, the Empire also has a number of commercial transports, patrol ships, manned ships, and more.
The battleship forces at the moon base were quickly assembled, forming an endless mountain of metal in the outer space of the moon.
"Let's go!"
Under the leadership of Sun Xiwu, the fleet began to set sail, and they would join the third fleet from the Trident galaxy on the way, and rush to the incident star field - Zhennan Star Domain together.
The incident field, since it is located in the southern part of the empire's territory, has been named the Zhennan star field.
When the fleet passed by the earth, Sun Xiwu deliberately ordered to slow down, and then ordered to open the communication of the whole ship.
"Stand upright, salute!!"
Sun Xiwu led hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers to salute the aqua blue planet on the screen at their combat posts.
Unlike in the past, when they were sneaky and petty fights, even ordinary soldiers realized that this time they were going to fight a big battle, maybe a year, maybe a few years, and they might not be able to come back.
Perhaps, they will also die in the Zhennanguan Star Domain.
The aqua blue planet, a place that every citizen of the empire could not forget, even the few non-native citizens on the battleship saluted silently.
These ethnic minorities have been in the empire for a long time, and they have also been affected, at least the concept of vernacularity, the concept of synergy, and the concept of loyalty of the empire are all present.
From time to time, the defense bases on the earth have signal lights, which can be seen in outer space, which is a signal symbolizing blessings.
"Zi~", the communication was cut to an office, on the screen, Zhang Shusheng was wearing a dark military uniform, and there was an order in front of him that was about to be read at a high-level military meeting, only to see him stand up and salute a standard military salute to the screen.
"Sons and daughters of the empire, although the journey to Zhennanguan Star Domain is not too far, it is a long journey. In an era when the glory of the Army was a thing of the past, the battleship force became the master of the stars.
You have taken on the responsibility of defending your homeland and defending the Empire.
You have shouldered the responsibility of resisting aggression and countering a strong enemy.
You are fighting hundreds of millions of kilometers away from your homeland, in obscurity.
However, I am seeing you off today, not to say a few empty words, to toast a glass of water and wine, I want you to rest assured that you will go to war, with me in the rear, you will not be isolated, you will not become cannon fodder, and you will even usher in a steady stream of reinforcements.
The enemy may be strong, but we are not weak either, and we will do everything we can to defeat them. ”
After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, there was no nonsense, he knew that he would definitely be able to fulfill his promise.
Picking up a glass of wine in front of him, Zhang Shusheng didn't say a word, took a sip, and then put it heavily on the table and saluted again.
"Stand upright! Salute! Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! ”
On the other end of the virtual communication, Sun Xiwu took the lead in standing up and saluting, and shouted out the honorific sentence representing the Supreme in his heart.
Watching the fleet go away from the screen until it disappeared into space, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The war came so fast that no one could predict the future.
If you could have known in advance that the war was coming, would you still have taken out a loan to buy a battleship factory? Will he use the same huge amount of money to purchase hundreds of battleships first?
It's a tough choice.
However, now Zhang Shusheng knows that he must start gathering battleships again, and if he gathers a few ships, he will send a few to the front line, and the more the main battleships of the empire, especially the battleships, the fewer casualties on the front line.
"What can we do to put together another fleet in a short period of time?"
Zhang Shusheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had caught a way, and he immediately made up his mind to give it a try, if he succeeded, he would have more warships to participate in the war.
The Empire is sending troops to the Empire, and the Duchy of Ranke is also experiencing new problems.
"Your Excellency, our contact with the research vessel has been severed."
Principality Ranke, the secretary hurriedly reported to Prime Minister McBi, who had just returned to the office.
"Huh? Did you find out why? ”
Prime Minister McBie asked hurriedly.
"At this time, it is impossible to determine what caused the loss of communications, enemy attacks, space disasters, obstructions from the lost star field."
The secretary said.
Prime Minister McBi frowned slightly, this is not good news, the reinforcement fleet has entered the Lost Star Domain, but the research ship cannot be contacted, but this is not important, at least the route information is already in hand.
From time to time, another piece of bad news comes.
"Prime Minister, when we just went to the Planet Registration Committee to inquire, we found that there are three registered planets in the Lost Star Field."
The secretary reported with some anxiety.
"What?"
Prime Minister McBie asked incredulously.
"Yes, three living planets, they all belong to a first-class civilization called the Chinese Empire."
When he heard this, his brow furrowed. "It's just a first-level civilization, and it looks like we need to increase reinforcements."
