However, although Yang Feng's support has enough weight, it will take time after all, and the number of heavy artillery and chariots he sent over is a little less, in a big battle where the two sides add up to more than five million people, at most it is a small stone thrown in the rolling Yangtze River, not to mention that the Germans are becoming more and more ferocious now.

In the German factory, desperately assembled one after another solidified qiyou bullets, and then loaded them on trains and sent them to the front line continuously, and then stuffed them into the airship and threw them on top of the Russian army, in the face of hell fire, no Russian army can hold their positions, the horror of this weapon has been ingrained in the hearts of the gray animals, almost as soon as they see the airship appear overhead, they will subconsciously run away.

For this situation, Nikolai and his generals were at a loss, and could only watch the German army advance in a loud way, and soon even the defense line of the One, which had been held for more than a year, was burned by solidified shells, and the German Eighth Army entered Lithuania in a mighty way, but at this time, the Russian winter stopped the Germans, which made Nikolai breathe a sigh of relief.

In fact, by now, the Germans had basically reached the limit of their attacks, and the exhausted German soldiers were in urgent need of a rest, so the battlefield on the Eastern Front fell silent again, and the two sides basically began to enter a stalemate again along the original historical front of 1918.

The rest of 1905 passed in peace, as both the Entente and the Central Powers were licking their wounds, gathering strength, and waiting for a new round of the war.

Yang Feng is also accumulating strength, waiting for a yellow peril that will sweep the entire world.

In the winter, Liaodong Bay has been completely covered by sea ice, all ports have been suspended, and even fishermen have finished most of their busy half a year and began to hold their harvest cats for winter, at this time the Chinese Navy announced that it would conduct large-scale exercises in Liaodong Bay, and no ships would be allowed to enter north of the line from Lushun Pass to Haihe Estuary. Almost all the warships of the Beiyang Fleet were dispatched, forming a tight blockade on this line, and patrols were even arranged along the coast to ensure that no one went to sea.

Of course, it is actually impossible for anyone to go to the sea, and the sea ice dozens of kilometers wide is not accessible to either ships or people, but it can also be seen from this the scale of this exercise.

On the open sea in the unfrozen area in the middle of Liaodong Bay, two giant warships with unique shapes are riding the wind and waves, and the golden dragon symbol on the bow of the ship is shining in the sun.

On the aircraft carrier Dingyuan of the Chinese Navy, Emperor Yang is leading a group of admirals. Clustered next to a Hawk fighter, today is the day of his carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing test, these two aircraft carriers named after the newly retired Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, can be regarded as completely completed, although there is still some finishing work in the follow-up, but it does not prevent the carrier-based aircraft from conducting tests.

"Don't have any mental pressure, like when you're training on land." His Majesty the Emperor personally encouraged the pilot, but it seemed that his encouragement made the pilot nervous even more, and China's power has soared over the years. The image of the emperor in the eyes of the people is becoming more and more majestic, especially in the minds of the younger generation, that is the holy lord Mingjun, and the image of the emperor is like the sky. Now that he has such a big lump in his heart, even the pilot, who is known for his psychological elements, can't help but be sincerely afraid.

Fortunately, in such a take-off test, there will be no problems at all, driven by the powerful power of 160,000 horsepower. The speed of the Dingyuan, which was sailing in the wind, gradually soared to 33 knots, and it was too easy for the Eagle fighter, which was originally relatively small compared to this aircraft carrier, to think of flying on the flight deck that was more than 260 meters long. You don't even need to accelerate too fast, basically the propeller starts and runs a few tens of meters a little.

Under the watchful eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and a group of generals, a ground crew suddenly turned the propeller, and then under the drive of the 700-horsepower gasoline engine, the propeller began to rotate at high speed, the Eagle fighter slowly moved forward, only ran less than fifty meters, the pilot pulled the control stick sharply, and the small plane easily left the deck and soared into the sky.

At the same time as the carrier-based aircraft on the Dingyuan took off, another carrier-based aircraft on the Zhenyuan also took off, and the two planes flew around their mothership in the spotlight below, constantly doing various maneuvers, in order to express their feelings, looking at their figures in the sky, Emperor Yang's heart was also very emotional, the launch of these two planes means that an era of maritime hegemony belonging to the Chinese has officially begun.

You must know that in such an era, even if he was in the time and space of the Republic of China, it was still just a dream, but now, the dream has finally become a reality.

The flight show of the two Eagle fighters did not last long, only ten minutes later began to land separately, at this time, including Yang Feng, everyone became nervous, staring at the falling plane with wide eyes, when the tail hook of the carrier-based aircraft that landed on the Dingyuan was hung with a blocking cable, even Yang Feng couldn't help but applaud, and at the same time another Eagle fighter also landed on the Zhenyuan, and then was stopped by the blocking cable.

However, today's test mission was not over, and after the take-off and landing tests were completed, the two Eagle fighters each hung a heavy aerial bomb, and then carried out a sea bombing test. The take-off process is still very smooth, although each has increased its weight by more than 200 kilograms, but on this kind of heavy aircraft carrier designed for those large carrier-based aircraft in the late World War II, it is as easy for a small aircraft like the Eagle to take off as easily as on land, even if the aircraft carrier is moored on the sea, they can fly directly, not to mention that they are still sailing at high speed.

Although it is not a special dive bomber, the Eagle designed as a fighter-bomber is not bad in ground attack, and these two pilots are also veterans of bombing, and a target ship that is parked on the surface of the sea is just a target ship, and I saw two planes start to volley down from a large angle from an altitude of 1,000 meters, until they are about to hit the target ship, and then they suddenly drop the bomb and then pull it up in an instant.

The two bombs roared and smashed into the target ship in an instant, and with a huge explosion that sounded almost at the same time, the target ship with a displacement of more than 1,000 tons was directly torn to pieces.

"Naval artillery is really outdated!" Looking at the scene in front of him, Liu Buyun, chief of the General Staff of the Navy, said with emotion.

"It can't be said that the aircraft carrier itself has no combat effectiveness, it completely relies on carrier-based aircraft, and there must be warships to provide protection for it, so large warships are still essential, but it is not necessary to use this thing for a decisive battle on the sea battle line, and the main task of large warships in the future is to escort ships, provide security protection for aircraft carriers, and deal with enemies from the sea, the sky, and even underwater, of course, this refers to our aircraft carrier fleet after it is massively formed, Surface combat with large warships is still inevitable in the current situation, and this will remain the main task of large warships for at least a decade. Yang Feng said.

The construction of his aircraft carrier fleet is not something that can be completed in a short period of time, even if the four docks of the Dalian shipyard are built at the same time, and the current workers have enough construction experience, it will take at least three years to build four more ships, in fact, Yang Feng does not dare to guarantee whether he can use the second batch of aircraft carriers before the end of the war, and he must rely on his own battlefleet in the short term.

However, in this way, the size of the Chinese Navy is still a little unreassuring, even with the addition of the newly built sixteen Hongwu-class battle cruisers, in the face of the increasingly large fleet size of European countries, it is still impossible to occupy an absolute advantage, although there are still two super battleships, but after all, the number is limited, and the good tiger can't stand the wolves. And so far, Britain, Germany and Russia have not yet broken out a real large-scale naval battle, which is a bit regrettable, how can they fight at sea? This question gave Emperor Yang a headache.

Judging from the current situation, these three are very cunning, although the land is full of blood, but the sea is not moving, they all know very well that no matter how many casualties the army is, this is very easy to replenish, but it is difficult to sink a battleship and want to replenish, as long as they have a fleet in hand, it will not damage the foundation of the world, especially like the British, it is impossible not to be wary of China, once the British Royal Navy and the German Navy are exhausted, or suffer heavy losses, it will be difficult to curb Yang Feng's ambitions for their Asian colonies in the future.

Emperor Yang hid on the side and sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, which was nothing more than waiting for the situation to be clear, and then obtaining the maximum benefit at the lowest cost, and for China, the victory of the Allied bloc brought far more benefits than the victory of the Entente bloc, the latter He was nothing more than making some war money, and finally took over a few small German colonies in the Americas and Asia, and if he didn't get it right, he had to share it with the Russians, but the former he could get a lot more, Britain's huge colonies in Asia, Russia's vast Far East and even Central Asia were his coveted targets.

With such a Tyrannosaurus rex on the side, it is difficult for the British to let go of their hands and feet at sea, they must ensure the strength of the Royal Navy to the greatest extent, and the vast Asian colonies must rely on the navy to protect, if they really have to fight the sea fleet with the Germans, even if Britain wins the war in the end, I am afraid it will be difficult to effectively deal with Yang Feng. In addition, there were the Russians, and Nikolai, even in the current situation of successive defeats on land, refused to use those valuable battleships in his hands to attack the German coast, which also made the British full of vigilance, after all, if there is a local tyrant now, it is only the British.
