This 'Exocet' reconnaissance plane adopts an all-aluminum alloy skin, a single-wing design, a pontoon-type landing gear, and uses a 680-horsepower air-cooled engine, and the nose is also equipped with a fairing to reduce wind resistance, and its speed can reach 275 kilometers per hour, a range of 1,000 kilometers, and a practical ceiling of 8,000 meters.

The aircraft was equipped with two 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns, a new camera with a wide-angle lens, a 30-metre length that could take 6,000 consecutive photographs in the air, and could also be equipped with 250 kg of bombs or a fuel tank to increase the range.

The advantages of the Chung Hwa Foundation's internal industrial system are very obvious at this time, all the equipment needed can be specially customized from its own factory, such as the on-board camera is the Chung Hwa Consortium's machinery factory tailor-made for this kind of aircraft, it not only has a wide-angle lens, which can clearly shoot the scenery below from an altitude of 8,000 meters, but also has a shutter speed and focus automatic adjustment system.

In addition, the camera's shutter button is on the pilot's joystick and does not require special personnel to operate, so the aircraft can be easily used by only one person, which saves a lot of weight and space for the aircraft, and makes the fuel load of the aircraft greatly improved.

The two 'Exocet' reconnaissance planes leisurely circled at an altitude of 8,000 meters, filming the movements of the entire battlefield; since neither side of the warring sides had radios, they were not afraid of being discovered, and they chatted while reconnoitring.

"Lao Chen, what do you say is the level of naval warfare between the two countries?" Qi Hui asked.

Chen Feng said with a smile: "Old Qi, you can't stump me, I haven't seen our warships in naval battles, but it is said that our navy is very disciplined in fighting, and it should be much better than them. ”

Qi Hui said: "You said that if we put up a bomb, what will be the result of making trouble for them here?" ”

Chen Feng said: "Don't say that you can't aim at an altitude of 8,000 meters, even if you are hit, the small bomb we brought will be useless against the battleship." ”

Qi Hui said with a smile: "That's right, it's still the shore-based bombers that are powerful, and they have overturned the warships of the Japanese State all of a sudden, which makes people greedy when they think about it." ”

Chen Feng said: "If you are envious, report to your superiors and transfer to the bomber unit." ”

Qi Hui shook his head and said: "Forget it, I am still willing to fly this kind of flexible aircraft, those bombers are so bulky, seeing a fighter is to see the light and die." ”

While the two were chatting, the fleets of the two sides that were fighting changed, and after suffering heavy losses, the destroyers on both sides posed a great threat to the battleships, so Marshal Scheer also had to order the fleet to retreat and distance itself. Seeing the other side retreating, Marshal Jericho also began to order a retreat, and the two sides quickly drew the distance of a normal naval battle again.

Field Marshal Scheer asked on the flagship 'King': "Are our losses great?" ”

The staff officer, who was counting the casualties, said: "Very large, at least seven battleships and fifteen cruisers were sunk, and a dozen destroyers. However, the other party's losses should be much greater than ours, and the specific numbers are still being counted. ”

Marshal Scheer nodded: "Such a result is enough, this time there are some errors in judgment, with our current strength, we can't eat the entire Thar fleet, now our task is to return to Wilhelmshaven, order the destroyers and cruisers to break off, lay mines, and we withdraw from the battlefield." ”

A staff officer next to him said: "Marshal, it seems that we did not carry mines before we set sail. ”

"What?" Marshal Scheer's muscles jumped up, he had just opened the distance, if he could not retreat as soon as possible, he would be bombarded by the opponent's superior main artillery, and the results of the desperate return just now would be in vain.

One of the staff officers said: "Marshal, we can wet the coal on the aft deck and ignite it, so that we can create a lot of smoke and cover our retreat." ”

Marshal Scheer nodded, "Good idea, act immediately." ”

The Sahr navy, who had pulled away, was just about to set up a formation and continue the artillery battle between the fleets, when they suddenly found thick black smoke rising from the direction of the Yaman navy, completely enveloping their vision.

Marshal Jericho said: "What's going on? What are they doing? ”

A staff officer said, "Probably their warship is on fire." ”

Marshal Jericho said: "No way, it must be the smoke they deliberately released to obstruct our vision. ”

The staff officer asked, "Marshal, what should we do now?" Continue the pursuit? ”

Marshal Jericho shook his head: "It is very dangerous to pursue in such a blurred vision, in case we break into the minefield laid by the other party, we will die without a place to bury, and we will retreat." ”

The Sahr navy's fleet, which also suffered heavy losses, retreated, and the naval battle of the Skagerrak Strait came to an end, with the Yaman Imperial Navy sinking 14 battleships, 8 cruisers, 21 destroyers, and 1 aircraft carrier at the cost of losing 8 battleships, 17 cruisers, 13 destroyers, and more than 21,000 officers and men, and more than 30,000 officers and men of the Sahr navy.

Judging from the losses, the Yamans won the tactical victory in this naval battle, but because Wilhelm II was distressed by the heavy casualties of his own fleet, he rejected Marshal Scheer's request to continue to expand the results of the battle, so that the Yaman Empire's ocean fleet was forbidden to go to sea to fight, and continued to be its veritable existence fleet, in this sense, the Saar Imperial Navy was barely able to achieve a strategic victory.

However, such a chaotic battle was far worse than the Chinese Imperial Navy's clear-sighted and rigorous naval warfare model, which made the top brass of both sides a little unable to raise their heads.

It is no wonder that the level of scientific and technological development of Wangxiangxing is already a bit fast, and after the arrival of Fang Xiaoyu, the speed of scientific and technological development is changing with each passing day, and a large number of rapid equipment updates have made the militaries of various countries a little dizzying, except for the Chinese Empire supported by Fang Xiaoyu, the military theories of various countries are naturally quite lagging behind, it is already the era of Chinese ships, and it is understandable that the two sides are still habitually using the melee mode of the era of sail battleships.

To the surprise of all countries, the "China Daily" of the Chinese Empire published a detailed number of sunken warships on both sides, and counted in detail the tactical mistakes and highlights of the two sides, which greatly surprised all countries, because they did not know how the newspapers of the Chinese Empire obtained these on-site materials, and even the two sides of the war probably did not have such a comprehensive and comprehensive summary of the overall situation, because the two sides did not have planes and warships that were separated from the battlefield to observe.

This naval battle caused the Thar Empire to lose a quarter of its main warships, which made Fang Xiaoyu very happy, seeing that the goal of weakening had been achieved, he began to prepare to solve it after the most difficult time, but there was still an obstacle before the Chinese Empire entered the war, that is, the Boston Empire.

The Boston Empire is currently the only industrial power that has not been involved in the war, so Fang Xiaoyu decided to send troops to prepare for war while testing the reaction of the Boston Empire.

The submarine forces of the Chinese Empire began to be active frequently along the coast of the Boston Empire, which made the Boston East Ocean Fleet, which was undergoing major repairs in the harbor, nervous, and they had to send a large number of destroyers to search for the traces of submarines, and at the same time strengthen the vigilance in the coastal areas.

Subsequently, the First Marine Corps of the Chinese Empire and the three corps of the St. Martin Empire launched a military exercise codenamed Jungle Storm less than a hundred kilometers from the border of the Moss Kingdom, which made the troops of the Boston Empire more vigilant.

At the same time, the Boston Foreign Minister immediately met with the ambassador of the Chinese Empire, hoping that the two sides could strengthen communication and prevent any misunderstanding, and exchanged views on the recent frequent submarine activities and military exercises of the Chinese Empire.

The Chinese ambassador very simply excused himself with regular military exercises and routine patrols, while the Boston foreign minister expressed his willingness to send troops to join the exercises, hoping that the two sides could have military exchanges. The Chinese ambassador rejected him on the grounds that the exercise had already begun and could not be changed, but the ambassador later said that the Chinese Empire had no intention of being an enemy of the Boston Empire and hoped that the other side would not be too sensitive.

Seeing the weakness of the Boston Empire, Fang Xiaoyu concluded that the other party was not ready for war, as long as he fought fast, he could definitely achieve a decisive victory before the other party reacted, so the entire Chinese Empire was mobilized, various troops began to be mobilized nervously, various military factories also went all out to produce weapons and ammunition, and various supplies into trains began to gather in the border areas, and the entire Chinese Empire entered a state of readiness.

The actions of the Chinese Empire startled the Cossack Empire on its border, since the last time the Chinese Empire successively defeated the Japanese and New Guinea countries with extremely fast speed and extremely novel tactics, and used a few submarines to secretly severely damage the entire fleet of the Boston Navy, so that all countries can see the strength of the Chinese Empire.

Those powerful countries who originally thought that their military strength was on par with the Chinese Empire have begun to re-evaluate the strength of the Chinese Empire, and now no country dares to provoke the Chinese Empire, after all, they have been fighting for several years, and they are indeed waiting for work, and they have strong enough strength, so they naturally need all countries to be vigilant.

Alexander III, the Cossack Emperor of the Cossack Empire, who had just fully occupied the Stanya Alliance, regretted it a little, he knew that the relationship between the Chinese Empire and himself had been very tense, and even if the relationship between the two sides eased due to Daria's visit last time, it was still far worse than the relationship between the people and the Yaman Empire, so the Chinese Empire would not help him when it entered the war.
