The reason why Lin Fei took such pains to keep this army secret was to treat this army as his trump card, and then use this trump card at the most critical time, now is the moment to decide the life and death of the Chinese Empire, if you don't play this trump card at this time, when will you wait?

Lin Fei looked at the front command cabin, the middle command cabin, and the rear power cabin of the monster-class submarine, and was very happy to see the high morale of the submariners, he came out of the submarine and said to Qin Hui: "Find the other three submarines, and let the captain come to the conference room for a meeting." ”

There are a total of four monster-class submarines, which are named separately, the ghost shark boat, the giant dragon boat, the candle dragon boat, and the demon mirage boat, all of which are taken from the monster beasts in Chinese myths and legends, among which the ghost shark boat uses the previous ship name, and the two warships use the same name, which is very common in the history of the world's navy.

Qin Hui promised to come down and contact the other three Demon Beast-class submarines, the Demon Beast-class submarines are equipped with the latest Jade Bird machine, known as "Jade Bird No. 2", compared with the original Blue Bird machine, the biggest improvement is that Jade Bird No. 2 uses an electron tube as a component, and its volume is much smaller than that of Jade Bird No. 1.

Lin Fei's development of the electron tube took almost two years, during which the craftsmen tried again and again according to the technical research and development ideas provided by Lin Fei, failed again and again, and finally got the electron tube out and manufactured the Jade Bird No. 2 machine.

However, the Jade Bird No. 2 still has a lot of immaturity, so it does not have a large-scale equipment for troops, and the reason why it is equipped on the Demon Beast-class submarine is because the space in the cabin of the Demon Beast-class submarine is small, and the Jade Bird No. 1 cannot be loaded into it at all.

The attenuation of electromagnetic waves in the seawater is very large, almost difficult to move an inch, the submarine wants to communicate with the surface ship, it must put the antenna on the water, Lin Fei came up with a way to tow the antenna, this towed antenna is a square box, floating on the water, connected into the submarine with a cable, to complete the communication with the submarine.

If in the era of Lin Fei, the use of towed antennas in submarines was completely looking for death, because the towed antenna was too conspicuous, and a slightly better optical reconnaissance system could detect it, but in this era, all countries in the world did not pay attention to submarines, and naturally did not pay attention to anti-submarine, so naturally they would not find towed antennas.

Lin Fei took Ling Xue and the others to the conference room, and after waiting for two hours, the captains of the four submarines arrived one after another.

The captain of the ghost shark boat was Qin Hui, who was also the commander of the submarine formation, he stood up first and said, "Your Majesty, all four captains of the monster-class submarine formation have been assembled. The other three captains stood up together and waited for Lin Fei's order.

Lin Fei nodded and said, "Let's have a meeting." ”

Qin Hui said "sit down", the three captains sat down in unison, Lin Fei sighed, and said: "What kind of crisis is facing us in Huaxia now, I believe everyone knows it, right?" ”

Qin Hui and the other four captains had solemn faces and nodded one after another, and Lin Fei said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you have thought clearly, what is the biggest advantage of the British and French alliance?" ”

Qin Hui asked tentatively: "The biggest advantage of the British and French forces is the navy?" ”

"Not bad... It's the Navy ... And the key point of the whole war situation is also the British and French navies. ”

Qin Hui and the others looked suspicious, the flames of war in Borneo, Java, and Sulawesi were all land battles, and the key point should be the army, how could His Majesty say that the key point was the navy?

Lin Fei explained: "The reason why the Anglo-French forces were able to capture Borneo, Java and Sulawesi was entirely because they had the right to control the sea..."

"Because they have the right to control the sea, so our reinforcements can't enter the battlefield at all, and the same because they have the right to control the sea, the British and French forces can enter the battlefield unimpeded, and they can send as many people as they want, France mobilized a large number of Vietnamese to participate in the war, Britain launched a large number of Indonesians to participate in the war, and even moved troops from Malaya, all for this reason."

"Having figured out the key points of the war, we can turn defeat into victory in one fell swoop, and the way to turn defeat into victory is to destroy the British and French fleets and seize sea supremacy... If we regain sea supremacy, our reinforcements will be able to enter Borneo, Java and Sulawesi and retake them..."

Lin Fei's words made Qin Hui and the other four captains nod their heads, and Lin Fei continued: "Now, let's make a plan to annihilate the British and French fleets. ”

Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, our four Demon Beast-class submarines, all of which are dispatched, will definitely be able to completely annihilate the British and French fleets, after all, they have no idea about our existence." ”

Lin Fei shook his head lightly, "You can't just go out, I know your technical parameters very well, your underwater speed is only nine knots, and the slowest warships of the British and French fleets are also fourteen knots, if they detect your existence and turn around and flee, you will definitely not be able to catch up with them, so we have to devise a plan to ensure that the British and French fleets are completely annihilated." ”

Qin Hui looked dazed and said, "How to make this plan, please instruct me, I promise to complete the formulation of the plan as quickly as possible." ”

Lin Fei smiled: "You don't need to make this plan, I have already made it." ”

Qin Hui and the other three captains all looked happy and said, "Your Majesty, tell us the plan quickly." ”

Lin Fei said to Qin Hui: "Take a chart of Manila Bay." ”

Qin Hui hurriedly got up and took a nautical chart and put it in front of Lin Fei, this nautical chart has one biggest difference from ordinary nautical charts, that is, this nautical chart marks the seabed conditions of various sea areas.

The seabed conditions in different seas are very different, some seas are full of silt, others are full of hard rock; Others are covered with a variety of seaweeds.

The condition of the seabed has no effect on the operation of surface ships, but it has a great impact on submarine operations, because submarines sometimes need to sink on the bottom of the sea.

Submarine warfare is not enough to have submarines and submariners, all kinds of supporting systems must also be complete, for example, this submarine situation reconnaissance, Lin Fei is familiar with naval operations, of course, he will not only build submarines, only train submariners, other supporting systems will also be improved at the same time, when the four submarines are built, Lin Fei will send people to reconnoiter the seabed conditions.

Lin Fei pointed to a sea area marked "0056" with his finger and said: "Before the battle begins, you rush to this sea area and sit on the bottom of the sea, the water depth of this sea area is forty meters, and the bottom of the sea is shallow sediment, which can be completely for you to sit and sink." ”

"When you are sinking, you will be separated by two kilometers from each other, that is, you will form an ambush line with a length of six kilometers, and when the battle starts, I will lead the enemy fleet into this ambush line, and when the enemy fleet all enters the ambush line, I will use the blue bird machine to send you a message."

"According to the accounts of the surviving sailors of the Battle of Semarang, the nine British and French battleships, when attacking the enemy fleet, will adopt a linear formation, and the distance between the nine battleships is almost six kilometers, that is, the enemy fleet is completely on your ambush line."

"The enemy fleet is completely in the line of your ambush, and it is within the range of the torpedoes, and there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to float to the periscope level, fire torpedoes, and sink all the enemy battleships..."

When Lin Fei said that he was impassioned, he stretched out his hand and slapped it on the table, everyone's faces showed excitement, but Qin Hui frowned and asked, "Your Majesty, even if we can sink the British and French battleships, but the British and French still have eight cruisers, what should they do?" ”

Lin Fei's expression darkened, and everyone's hearts trembled with this gloom, Lin Fei said: "I can't figure out where the cruiser will be in the battleship fleet now, in the Battle of Semarang, the enemy's eight cruisers have made a detour to the flank of our fleet, I don't know how they will fight this time." ”

Lin Fei raised his voice and said: "Everyone must remember that our biggest enemy is the British and French battleships, as long as we kill the British and French battleships, the remaining cruisers, we can deal with the same as the Great Emperor class and the Dragon class." ”

The crowd stood up and shouted in unison, "Understood..."

Lin Fei smiled and waved his hand, asked everyone to sit down, and said with a smile: "Let's go and prepare, if we win this battle, the whole situation will be reversed..."

Qin Hui raised his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you said, if we annihilate the British and French fleets, they will definitely send more warships to retaliate, and we will be in a disadvantageous situation at that time." ”

Lin Fei laughed, "You are completely worrying about this, Britain is not the only enemy in the world, Britain has colonies all over the world, and these colonies are competing with Britain, for example, the colonies in the Mediterranean, Germany is fighting with Britain." ”

"For example, in the colonies of the Caspian and Black Seas, that is, the Crimean peninsula and Iran, there is a terrifying polar bear...... Russia is competing with it, as well as in Central Asia, the Western Plateau Province and the Western Desert Province of the Qing Dynasty. ”

"Russia and Britain are competing more than that, in the Far East, Britain is also competing with Russia, and what is even more unfavorable to the Anglo-French alliance is that although Britain and France are allies, they are competitors at the same time, and France and Britain have extensive conflicts of interest in the South Seas and in Africa."

"Britain has so many potential enemies, it is destined not to dare to concentrate all its military strength to fight us, Britain now has no more than 40 battleships, of which the Majesty class and the Monarch class are the latest and most advanced, the Majesty class battleships have even just been launched, Britain can now draw out five battleships and four cruisers to fight us, it is already the limit of their psychological endurance, if more warships are sent, Germany and Russia will stir up trouble in other colonies and encroach on British interests, Britain does not dare not leave battleships to guard these places."

Qin Hui frowned and said, "You just mentioned Germany and Russia, what if these two countries also join forces with the United Kingdom?" ”
