Chapter 548: Confrontation on the Ocean

Extinguishing the cigarette butt that had burned to the end in the ashtray, Cai Tingyuan sighed and said: "Although the Sero Kingdom has been more hostile to the Chinese recently, its king Carlos I still has a good impression of the empire, and we can't watch him defeated by the rebels." I think it's time to send them some weapons and ammunition to support, at least not to let them lose quickly, so that the country has time to react. ”

Liu Qun said: "Even if the largest Northern Military Region betrays, the government army still has seven armies, not to mention that they are on the defensive, and they should be able to cope with it for a long time." ”

Cai Tingyuan shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, if you look at the air force dispatched by the rebels, they are all the latest models of aircraft of the Boston Empire, and there is obviously a shadow of the Axis countries in them, if they are supporting the rebels, this civil war is not simple." ”

"If that's the case, we should really support some of the government forces, and maybe we can send some volunteers." Liu Qundao.

Cai Tingyuan said: "You can't send volunteers, recently the Sero Kingdom has begun to have a lot of antipathy towards the yellow race, they think that my trading company has earned their money and made them fall into poverty, if we send volunteers at this time, it will undoubtedly add fuel to the fire." ”

Liu Qun said: "Okay, I'll go and transfer weapons first, and transport a batch over first." ”

Within the scope of his authority, Cai Tingyuan sent 150,000 Type 07 semi-automatic rifles and more than 300 Grizzly 2 combat vehicles to the government army, which greatly alleviated the backward situation of the government army's weapons and equipment.

The current Sero government army still uses the weapons left for them by the Imperial Chinese Army at the end of World War I, and the light weapons are all surplus products exported abroad, including Type 91 rifles and Type 90 heavy machine guns, and artillery are all old-fashioned 1005mm howitzers and 76mm mountain guns, and the chariot is the oldest Grizzly 1 type.

Under the leadership of Franco, the rebel troops, equipped with a large number of M4 tanks, were not afraid of the rebels who only had anti-aircraft guns and a small number of 37-mm anti-tank guns.

The rebels had a large number of artillery, and the Boston Empire was open to supply ammunition, and Franco did not hesitate at all, and directly ordered the heavy artillery units to target the city of Palencia and bombard indiscriminately, turning this city, which had been destroyed under the artillery fire of the Chinese Empire and had just been rebuilt for less than 15 years, into a pile of ruins again. Then the commander of the 53rd Army, Lieutenant General Julio, personally went out and led the infantry into the city.

There was a fierce exchange of fire between the government and the rebels in the city, and the soldiers on both sides fought desperately in the narrow streets, but the government troops were small in numbers and outdated in weapons, and they had to retreat under the attack of the rebels, and the city of Palencia was quickly lost most of it.

In the face of the sudden attack of the rebels, Carlos I was very anxious, but fortunately, the assistance of the Southern Military Region of the Chinese Empire was quickly shipped from Alexandra Harbor and delivered to the government army in just one week, which greatly improved the disadvantage of the government army in weapons and equipment, but the Chinese Imperial government has been silent, which made Carlos I a little disappointed.

In order to turn the situation at home, Carlos I turned to the allies for help and negotiated with his vassal Grand Duchy of Rees, asking them to send troops to help quell the rebellion.

Seeing the growing power of the Axis group on the western continent and now wanting to intervene in the Ibilis Peninsula, William II was extremely annoyed, and he immediately decided to send air volunteers there to support the government army, and at the same time mobilize other allies to support the government army, and the fleet of the Yaman Empire also sailed out of the port and rushed to the waters near the Kingdom of Cello, showing the appearance of armed intervention.

The three Allied powers are still very united in foreign affairs, and since the Axis bloc is approaching step by step, which has seriously threatened the national security of the Allied countries, the other two countries have also sent fleets to cruise in the Mediterranean, and even approach the coastline of the Kingdom of Sero to provoke. Not to be outdone, the fleets of the Nantes Empire and the Saar Empire also went out to patrol the harbor and confronted the Allied fleets on the sea, and a major war between the two sides was on the verge of breaking out.

The new fleets of the Saar Empire and the Nantes Empire were still under construction, and at this time they could only get their hands on a few old battleships and a new batch of destroyers, and the overall combat power was almost equal to nothing.

Especially in the face of the Yaman Empire, the strongest country in the Western Continent, the three old man-class battleships dispatched by the Thar Navy were like children in front of the opponent's six 40,000-ton Bismarck-class battleships. And the four Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers cruising in the rear were even more imposing, not looking at the Saar people on the opposite side in the slightest.

Looking at the arrogant fleet of the Yaman Empire on the opposite side, Admiral Betty who was standing on the bridge of the flagship ship sighed, thinking that at the beginning, the Saar Empire was known as the first navy in the world, and there were as many as 100 battleships alone, and in the face of the powers of the Western Continent, any alliance of the two countries could not fall behind.

After the last defeat, the fleet was almost completely deprived, and the navy was reduced to such a fate, and the angry Marshal Jericho was bedridden and died in a few years. Over the years, Admiral Betty has struggled to support, but because of treaty restrictions, he has never been able to expand the fleet, and now the country has finally put aside the peace treaty and began to expand the navy on a large scale, but the new ships have not yet had time to be launched, and the fleet has faced such a dilemma.

Thinking of the several victorious countries that had caused him to fall into such a situation, Admiral Betty gritted his teeth and said: "The Chinese Empire, the Yaman Empire, the Habfsburg Kingdom, and the Grand Duchy of Sardinia, I will recover your debts little by little, and I will not back down today, I will let you know that the Saar Navy will always be the strongest." ”

Admiral Betty turned around and said to the operational staff officer behind him: "Inform the fleet that all the battleships will line up in a battle line formation, and all the battleships will follow the flagship to turn." Tell all the officers and men that if the war resumes, it is good to start here, and the Saar Imperial Navy will be brilliant again. ”

All the Sahr navy held their breath, when they heard the commander's signal to prepare for battle, the sailors moved quickly, the gunners ran to the gun emplacement, the helmsmen carefully piloted the warship, they operated the warship and quickly formed a battle formation, facing the powerful Yaman naval fleet to meet it.

"The battle alarm was sounded, the battleships were dispatched, and all carrier-based aircraft were lifted into the air." Seeing the Thar fleet in battle formation, Vice Admiral DΓΆnitz, the commander of the Yaman fleet, was not to be outdone, and they also put on a battle formation and went toe-to-toe with the Thar fleet.
