…… In the blue South China Sea, the first task force in the history of the Chinese Navy belched black smoke billowing southward.

The new concept of the navy proposed by Yang Qiu of the task force consists of a temporary combat mission organization composed of multiple types and different types of ships, which is set up according to the needs of operational objectives and opponents.

The Jiashente Mixed Formation was the first mixed fleet. It consisted of the aircraft carrier Wulianghai, the battlecruiser Dinghai, the heavy cruiser Taiwan Island, the light cruiser Tumenjiang, the training cruiser Feihong, and two Changfeng-class destroyers, the Beifeng and Haifeng. Such a fleet would be inconspicuous if it were taken apart and placed alone among the naval powers, but when they were gathered together and split the waves at an average speed of 28 knots, even the British Empire, the hegemon of the seven seas, would secretly scratch its head.

It is the first time in the history of mankind that Chapter 571 is a mixture of five types of warships, and a fleet that can cruise at such a fast speed for a long time at the same time, even the British Empire cannot make up the same fleet that can maintain this speed continuously, because the British first-class heavy cruisers are still on the drawings. Some people may ridicule China for not even breaking through the heat-resistant spindle, and it is all French and Italian goods, but even the most discerning person has to admit that in Asia, a regional naval power is emerging.

On the wide deck of the Wulianghai, two Falcon combat reconnaissance planes of Zhong Kui's brigade were preparing to take off. The second lieutenant of the Navy Pan Duheng (book friend shrimp headdress), who was in charge of the deck command, held high the red and green flags and crossed them to make preparations. Since the advent of the aircraft carrier, the major naval powers have been exploring its use and combat methods, and in this regard, the Chinese Navy has also begun to explore the use of aircraft carriers after someone gave hints and suggestions with the messy information obtained from movies, television and books. At least the 22nd phase of the Nanyang Naval Academy (counting from the first period before the first noon, there is a suspension of classes in the middle) has put on the green vest representing the flight control of the deck. This is a simple way to distinguish the US military in later generations, green flight, purple oil, red bomb Chapter 571 and then small crab medicine, blue support, white medical care, brown air crew, yellow command.

After the pilots in the cabin of the two Falcon waved their hands to signal that they were ready, Second Lieutenant Pan Duheng twisted his body and raised his flagpole to point his sword forward. The two falcons, under his command, let out a violent hissing of their engines and quickly rushed into the sky.

In the Dinghai's generous command tower, Wang Guangxiong put down his binoculars with satisfaction when he saw the alert plane taking off. Picked up his favorite Pu'er tea and took a sip: "By the way, has the list of students who will study in the UK for the next phase been decided?" ”

"We got eight places. Commander Pan Duheng of Wulianghai and Jiang Yuchen of Dinghai, this is the third year in a row, and Chen Shaokuan sent a telegram to me a few days ago. Said to be recompared. "It was the chief of staff of the Nanyang Fleet, Vice Admiral Zhang Cai, who spoke. Short and dark-skinned, he is 40 years old and originally from Fujian, and later went to Vietnam to make a living. By chance, he went to France to study and obtain citizenship and joined the French Navy. Hearing that there was an urgent shortage of naval talents in the country, the ambition to serve the country made him leave for China at the beginning of the 14th and join the Nanyang Fleet. He was promoted to chief of staff of the fleet after returning home with 11 destroyers of the South Ocean Fleet to help the Atlantic during the European War.

Although the Admiralty has a place every year for further study abroad. However, in order to promote competition, the Ministry of National Defense deliberately created an odd number of 15 places, and also stipulated that the winner of the annual training would automatically receive an additional quota, so in order to send more "one's own people" to the world's naval powers for training, the two fleets spat at each other, from the captain to the petty soldiers, after each annual exercise, and sometimes the commander and chief of staff would deliberately add fuel to the fire and belittle the opponent.

In fact, the dispute between the North and the South Seas has been showing signs since before the First Sino-Japanese War, but now it is different from then, so Yang Qiu and the Admiralty not only did not care, but were happy to see this kind of war of words.

Don't look at Wang Huzi as a good baby in front of Yang Qiu, Sa Zhenbing and others. But he has never been a good-tempered master, or he would have dared to bombard Beiyang with a dead hand if he had only defected to the Wehrmacht back then. However, he is satisfied with three consecutive victories. But after scratching his beard and remembering this mission, his eyelids drooped again: "Is there a new telegram?" ”

Zhang Cai, a colleague for many years, naturally knew what he was asking, muttered his mouth and shook his head: "It's still the original order." Act at the right time, ensure safety, and do not provoke war. ”

"Hey, grandma."

Whether it is the navy or the army, or the newly established air force, it is estimated that no one likes this kind of order from a small soldier to an officer. The Dutch are not afraid, just a few broken ships, the Tumen River can be done on the top, but there is the British Empire behind this little overlord! Singapore has two old battleships. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure the safety of the survey team. It is a sad business that the oil fields will not be robbed, but they must not provoke wars.

What if you could rush directly into Batavia, rush into the Governor's Palace, pull out the Dutch Governor, and ask him if he was eating Bandao noodles or Chaos noodles? Wang Huzi was annoyed by this order, and simply slapped the table: "Go, herald." When you cross Natuna, find an island where no one is there and give Lao Tzu a few shots! ”

"How many shots?" Zhang Cai's eyes widened: "Commander." Natuna Islands...... No! Lao Tzu found a lonely island to try the cannon, what's the matter? ”

"Okay, okay." Wang Huzi's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and the officers were so frightened that they all shrank their necks. Zhang Cai knew that his own person was a donkey, and only the vice president and Sa Zhenbing could stop it. However, the navies of all countries have the habit of finding isolated islands to practice their guns during the voyage, so let's shoot a few guns, and let the two new ships also open meat, but Natuna, damn it, Wang Beard is really good at picking places!

An hour later, the fleet finally arrived at the edge of the Natuna Islands, and Zhang Cai carefully chose a shallow reef area that could not be named, only exposing more than one meter above the surface of the water, and then let the Tumen River, Taiwan Island, and so on take turns to attack the small crabs resting on the reef...... What is the South China Sea? The rumbling of artillery immediately attracted 1 British cruiser to check the situation. When the British captain saw the fluttering Chinese naval flag and the reef shrouded in smoke, he hurriedly sent a telegram back to Singapore. Inside the bridge, looking at the British protective cruiser that was watching him, the corners of Wang Guangxiong's lips under his thick beard were unnoticed.

After leading the task force to play a game of "cannon roasted crabs", Wang Huzi continued to lead the fleet to the East Indies, and Batavia (present-day Jakarta), which knew nothing, was also overwhelmed by the oil fields.

In the hot, humid and smoky East Indies, there is a small garden like a paradise. Palm trees, green lawns, cream-white walls, orange tiles. There is also the Dutch flag flying high, which adorns the Dutch East India Governor's Palace in Batavia.

But today no one wants to stop and enjoy the view, and all the colonial government officials who used to be nowhere to be found when they were okay have all appeared overnight, both gentry in suits and maintaining the so-called aristocratic demeanor in the hot summer. There were also shirts and shorts that were completely integrated into the local greedy merchants, and there were also local officials who were specially used against the indigenous and Chinese, and there were also army and navy officers. All in all, the 300 million tons of huge oil fields at hand, the $2.1 billion Tianda pie have driven the entire Dutch East Indies crazy.

No, even the whole South Seas, and even the whole world were swept in!

Inside the hall of the Doge's Palace. Lord Decor, the governor of the Dutch East Indies, with beautiful blond curls, dark blue eyes, and a slightly down-hooked nose, had long since lost the excitement he had when he went to work, and the heat, flies, plague, and damned natives made him despair of this place, and if it weren't for the huge "public relations money" he received from Shell every year, he might have taken his wife and children back to Europe to enjoy the blessings. But he never expected that this public relations fee would be so hot one day! Because Shell Royal Oil Company demanded that he immediately ban foreign companies from carrying on oil business, and also demanded that he take back the tidal flat land along the Straits of Malacca in Riau Province that he had sold, and that he expel the personnel of the Southwest China Mining Company that was prospecting there.

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass yourself!

Speaking of which, he was so full of bitterness. First, Shell had never asked for a ban on foreign businessmen to go to the East Indies to prospect for oil, and second, no one thought that there was oil beneath that seaside tidal flat! So when a dozen Chinese offered to buy that piece of land, he was still excited to death. I thought I could get more than 100,000 dollars for nothing. Now the money is in place, and it is still locked in the bedroom safe, but the trouble is also coming! It is estimated that in the end, this land transfer fee must be handed over to the above for processing, which is simply lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot!

"Your Excellency the Governor."

Forty-year-old Worcester, the head of the Anglo-Dutch Shell Royal Oil Company in the East Indies, stared at Lord Decor with deep eyes, and said: "For the commercial interests of the British Empire and the Dutch government, you should tell those yellow-skinned monkeys at once that this is not the Far East where they can do whatever they want!" You know, the oil fields have caused great trouble for the Dutch government, and there is already information that the Japanese Navy has sent cruisers here. Their greed for oil is obvious to all, so this new field must be kept under our protection, otherwise no one can guarantee whether it will lead to war. ”

"Shit, do you need to tell me this?" Lord Deco cursed secretly, his stomach was sour, and he really hated to order this guy to be driven away in the face of the menacing Worcester. But he didn't dare. Not to mention how extensive Worcester's social circle is in Europe and how many MPs he has friends with, Shell itself is not a company that can be shaken by individuals! Shell now controls almost half of the world's oil, producing 50 million barrels a year, and even Oklahoma, California, Mexico, Persia and Baku have their own industries.

Besides, I still take other people's money...... I knew I wouldn't take it.

Lord Decaux secretly regretted it, but it was too late to regret it now. In fact, he is not a fool, if the giant oil field is discovered by other countries, it is good to say, but it is the Chinese who discovered it first, which is bound to provoke the hatred of the Japanese! Even if war does not break out, the East Indies will probably become the stage of confrontation between China and Japan, and it will be plunged into turmoil and chaos from then on.

So after thinking about it, he reluctantly sighed: "Mr. Worcester, you can rest assured, I have ordered the soldiers to temporarily prohibit the continuation of mining, as for the rest." Lord Decaux wanted to say that he would handle it, but before he could reach his lips, a staff member rushed into the conference room: "Your Excellency, Governor! There has been a major earthquake in Japan, Japan! ”

"Damn, didn't you see I'm in a meeting? Go *** Japan earthquake, I'm waiting, what did you just say? Finally there was a target to vent, so Lord Deco vented all his frustration on the hapless telegrapher, but just halfway through the spray, he suddenly realized something, and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze?" Tell me what you just said! ”

As soon as he entered the door, he was sprayed with spit on his face, and the telegraph operator hated it so much, but he was the governor, so he could only swallow his anger and repeat what he had just said, and then turned away with a numb face.

The telegraph operator left with a tickle of teeth, but Lord Decaux did not care at all the face of the little man leaving, for he was already in ecstasy. Pinching the telegram and laughing: "Great! That's great! These damn monkeys have finally been punished, and God, I'm going to see for myself if Mt. Fuji has erupted...... Worcester's face is black, so what if Japan withdraws? What about the Chinese? Do you want to watch billions of dollars fall into people's pockets? What's more, this money is only 500 kilometers away from the company's Palembang oil field! It's like taking someone out of your own pocket! This is something that must be snatched back no matter what! So he hurriedly coughed a few times and interrupted, "Your Excellency the Governor." Don't forget, the survey team of the Southwest China Company is still there. ”

"Yes. I know, please rest assured that I will contact the British Far East Fleet on this matter, and we will go together. Lord Deco was overwhelmed by the ecstasy of the earthquake in Japan, but before he could finish the words "pressure China," he was once again choked in the throat by the re-intruding telegraph operator.

After being interrupted twice in a row, Lord Deco was very, very angry, and glared at the telegraph operator viciously: "Eric! Don't you have eyes? I'm in a meeting, in a meeting! ”

Eric's telegraph operator's face darkened, and he took out the telegram and read it stiffly: "Return to Your Excellency the Governor-General, the telegram from the commander of the Far East Fleet of the British Empire." He relayed to you that 6 medium ** ships are heading towards Batavia, and live artillery tests were held on the way! Among them were 1 battle cruiser, 1 heavy cruiser, 2 light cruisers, 2 destroyers and 1 aircraft carrier. ”

"Battlecruiser God! Assemble, command the Navy to assemble! Go, damn it, get those two wrecked ships up for me! ”

"Fortress, call the fortress and get ready for battle!"

"Your Excellency the Governor! Colonel Warwick's phone call, he said that he had reported to you that the propellant of the fortress's heavy artillery had been damp and unusable last year...... I hate this rainforest...... To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )rq！！！
