Chapter 957: The voice of the angry front
The British detained this fleet was a freight company formed by the Chinese, and although the goods were mainly oil and grain, they were sold to Ireland in exchange for lead, zinc, graphite, and copper to meet the needs of the rapid development of the electronics industry in the future.
Captain Hawke, who led the team, was taken away for interrogation after sending a telegram, and when he learned that the Philippine-flagged fleet was Chinese, Nelson, the captain of the battleship HMS Hood, only hesitated, and immediately ordered the arrest of all crew members and sailed all 16 search ships to Bristol, claiming that these freighters were transporting strategic goods to Germany.
On the way, while reporting the situation, he ordered the execution of all the crew members, and none of them remained.
In this way, he thought that there was no proof of death, and after unloading the cargo, he would dismantle or sink the freighter, even if they were protected by the Fury Mercenaries.
But how did he know that at this time, the communication and information collection, not to mention the telegram, had already been sent, and even if there was no telegram, Britain was full of Du Fei's men. After all, his main areas of activity include Germany, France, and Britain, which are belligerents, collecting folk treasures and cultural relics.
The fleet had just entered Bristol, and before the ship was unloaded, the Dark Hall personnel and the Wolf Smoke team members there had discovered the news and received accurate information, and the fleet was not spared.
Dong Ku was furious when he received this news, this has nothing to do with provocation or anything, this is Chiguoguo's declaration of war. He declared that he was responsible for the personal safety and property safety of overseas Chinese and Chinese, and the British intercepted the merchant ship and killed all the crew. This is not just a slap in the face.
Dong Ku's face was full of clouds, he handed the telegram to Zuo Boyang, and snorted coldly: "Since they want to fight, then let their fleet disappear!" ”
After reading the message sent by Du Fei, Zuo Boyang also showed his murderous anger. It is nothing new for Chinese people to be bullied overseas, but when the advance army was renamed the Angry Frontier Mercenaries. Dong Ku issued an order to the whole army to protect every Chinese and Chinese, as long as the legitimate rights and interests are damaged, and the local people do not actively deal with it, the Nufeng mercenaries will intervene, even if it is one person. And not hesitate to go to war against the country!
Although he was angry, he was still very calm, and after reading the telegram for so long, Zuo Boyang, who had begun to learn to use diplomatic means, said while burning it: "Captain, since the war has started, do you have to make an announcement first?" ”
"Well, both at the same time."
Dong Ku ordered in a deep voice.
Soon, the top management of the company adopted a plan for a strike on the British Navy. Subsequently, Mengzi personally led a group of six aircraft carriers to the British-controlled sea area of the Celtic Sea.
At the same time as the Fierce Fleet departed, the Voice of China, renamed the Voice of the Furious Front, issued a world announcement.
A day ago, the freighter of Nanyang Shengchang Freight Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the Eurasian Business Alliance, was detained by the British Royal Fleet and massacred all the crew members on board for the sole purpose of transporting supplies to Germany.
Shengchang is trading with the McDonald family in Ireland and has worked together four times, and the shipping address is also direct to Dublin, Ireland. HMS Hood of the British Royal Navy led a fleet to intercept a convoy in St. George's Strait. After the fleet presented the relevant formalities, it was still seized. and slaughtered all the crew on the way to Bristol. In view of the fact that such banditry must be curbed and the sea must be restored to peace, the Fufeng Company issued an ultimatum that the British Royal Navy should give an explanation and compensation for the incident, and hand over all the soldiers of the fleet headed by the Hood. The trial will be conducted by the Fury Mercenaries, otherwise the Fury Mercenaries will reserve the right to seek justice through other means.
As soon as this announcement came out, the world was immediately in turmoil. This proclamation has apparently given an ultimatum to the UK, and there is no room for negotiation.
The advance army is going to war! No, it's going to be war against Britain!
This is the reaction of all countries.
They hadn't waited to digest the information. Before Britain could react, one after another was called.
The content is more or less the same, they are all these sovereign states that belong to the Eurasian Business Union. They denounced the actions of the British Royal Navy and demanded justice for the interests of the Merchant Alliance. Even Cuba and the Bahamas, as well as Bermuda, have made the same world announcement.
Now everyone understands that the Angry Blade mercenaries are going to take the UK. Moreover, the fact that these countries have stood up and spoken also shows that they belong to the Eurasian Business Union and are advancing and retreating together.
However, there is a very important piece of information that has not been overlooked, and that is that the Fury Mercenaries did not declare war on the British, but only against the British Royal Navy. Although the difference here is not big, the essence is different, one is armed, the other is the state, although the fleet is the state, but there is no direct pressure and ultimatum to the state, which leaves room for peace talks, once Britain decides to take the war and the navy loses, then the country can also classify the responsible person as an individual act, so as to conduct peace talks.
In the reaction of various countries, Churchill's face was solemn.
The Hood's captain, Nelson's report, led him to acquiesce in the killing, in order to knock down the arrogant Fury Mercenaries. He believes that the Royal Navy fleet is not sure of victory in ocean-going operations, and with the advantages of coastal operations, convenient supply, and numerous submarines, the fleet of the Furious Front may not necessarily be able to make a profit.
In addition, the battleships that have been modified in large quantities have been retrofitted with or replaced with 127-caliber high-angle guns, and with the air defense of close-explosive shells, the enemy's air power is gone. Moreover, land-based aircraft can also participate in naval battles, and the advantage is not a little bit.
As for Nu Feng hitting the mainland, he has reason to believe that with such a long supply line, it will be difficult for Nu Feng to do landing operations no matter how powerful he is.
But he also did not dare to take it lightly. The battle record of the furious front is there, it is related to the overall strength of the United Kingdom, once the navy is defeated, then they will lose a lot of advantages.
But he didn't know that the battleship group composed of six aircraft carriers had already set off, with a huge fleet of unhurried fish, rushing straight to his nest. Even if his fleet avoided fighting, Fury Feng would not give up his original intention of attacking their fleet.
Although it was deliberately aimed at the angry front, Churchill still made some diplomatic means. Ordered to respond to the outside world and prepare to play tai chi.
Shaoqing, Britain responded, expressing regret over the incident, saying that the investigation was blocked by the crew's shooting, and the ship was only kicked by force as a last resort. Damages caused to cargo ships will be compensated accordingly after investigation. But he didn't mention the handling plan of the personnel below Captain Hood Nelson, and was ready to use the word grinding trick to sharpen the sharp spirit of the angry front.
Furious Feng responded half an hour after the British telegram was issued, repeating the ultimatum on the matter, but did not condemn the British political axe, only added an additional one, and the results of the Royal Fleet's handling of the perpetrators were not received within an hour. Extraordinary measures will be taken to find justice for those crew members who died unjustly.
At the same time, these countries that have opened their doors to join the Eurasian Business Alliance broke out in demonstrations, represented by the Chinese, strongly condemning the criminal acts of the British Royal Fleet, raising the incident to the level of full mobilization, and expressing the momentum of unity.
Dong Ku's momentum was only to buy time for Mengzi's fleet, because the transoceanic battle did not mean that it could be reached in three days and two days, even if they sailed at an average speed of thirty-five knots, they would take the Cape of Good Hope after all. Bypass to the UK. This distance is not three or five thousand kilometers, so it will take some time. After all, it takes more than 10,000 kilometers to detour from Australia and Malacca.
Moreover, it was the first time that the Chinese were slaughtered and sent troops, which also required a change of mentality for the original advance army. After all, this is not the time to destroy Little Japan, this is to go across the ocean to find a place for hundreds of shipwrights, to make them famous, and their responsibility is to protect the Chinese from being bullied.
But Dong Ku has never let the power supply say that there will be another war. Because the whip is out of reach, it takes time. And. It is also necessary to do a good job in the work of transferring troops, and South Africa, Iraq, and the Gulf region, which are close to Western Europe, must be prepared for first-class defense and be ready to fight a land war at any time. If Britain insists on going its own way. Dong Ku didn't mind knocking down North Africa, which they now controlled, completely blocking the passage for Britain to travel, allowing him to fight with Germany in a small space, get close to each other, and increase war damage.
An hour passed quickly. Britain did not put down the shelves because of the one-hour ultimatum, nor did it announce any punishment for Nelson, of course, it was also a clear attitude that appropriate compensation was possible, but it would never hand over the soldiers of the British Empire to an armed man without a political axe. And there was no intention of talking to this armed force, not a word about the Angry Blade mercenaries.
Dong Ku knew the result, he did not wait an hour, but at the same time as the fierce fleet set off, he had already begun to transfer troops in the direction of South Africa and Iraq. Sun Tao's army there didn't have to worry about combat effectiveness, but it couldn't support the fierce fight, so the first-generation Raptor jet fighters transferred there, along with large bombers, radar early warning aircraft, and air tankers that had just come out of the experimental base.
This is already the most advanced tanker in the world. When the hard-tube refueling technology is perfected, Nufeng's aerial refueling will lead the world and achieve global air strike capabilities.
Of course, missiles are essential for the Raptor, and in addition to air-to-air missiles, they are mainly air-to-surface missiles, which are used to strike British ground targets, support naval air battles, and combat warships.
Iraq's original British airfield has been expanded and improved in the past few months, and has become the latest springboard for Dongku to enter Western Europe.
The Raptor is not the F-22 of later generations, which is not as advanced in technology, but is much more advanced than the first jets of World War II, integrating the respective characteristics of German and American fighter jets, and developed as technology allows.
Its speed reached 800 kilometers per hour, which is far beyond the limit of 500 or 600 kilometers of today's fighters, and in air combat, without missiles, the on-board Vulcan cannon alone is enough to knock out all opposing fighters without damage.
This is Dong Ku's air killer, which specializes in dealing with aircraft of various countries. Moreover, the second-generation Raptor is already under development, and when the engine experiment is over, its speed will exceed 1,000 kilometers, killing all opposing fighters in seconds. Long-range fire control also allows the strike distance to exceed that of any aircraft today, plus missiles, truly achieve over-the-horizon strikes, and missiles will hit them without waiting for enemy aircraft to find them.
Unfortunately, because of the relationship between fuel and engine, this ballistic missile is not enough to achieve the ability to hit the British mainland from Iraq, but the submarine missile, at most, in half a year, after the data experiment of the new submarine is completed, it can move to all parts of the world and hit any target near the coastline.
Britain did not react, Dong Ku did not bother again, it seems, this matter is over. The protest marches in various countries were also canceled after three days.
Where is the time to put on a show? Fighting again, it's more convincing than anything else. And. It is very important to collect the location of the British fleet that has begun to assemble, and the net has been spread, just waiting for the fierce fleet to arrive at the attack position and start a blow against the British fleet.
Although Churchill was ready to play Tai Chi to grind the sharpness of the angry front, the final appropriate compensation was not a short tug-of-war negotiation. let this matter slowly fade out of people's sight, but it was not careless enough not to take precautions.
The aircraft carriers Rage, Cyclops, Athletic, Glory, Bravery, and Ark Royal have all assembled and converged on Plymouth. The battleships and cruisers, the main battleships, also gathered in the surrounding ports on both sides, ready in case the Fury Front fleet attacked.
Nearby airfields also began to mobilize fighters and bombers to prepare for the destruction of the main force of the enemy fleet when the enemy came.
He had reason to believe that six or seven hundred aircraft on land alone would be enough for the enemy's fleet to drink.
As for the rest of the coast. There is a radar system that has been built again, not to mention the fleet, that is, air strikes, and he is absolutely sure that he will shoot down all the planes with that powerful close-to-explosive shell.
These days, except for the German army, Lao Xi has made new moves, and other countries are left with the United States and Mexico still fighting, but the progress of both sides is not much. With shells and bombardment, there was a constant mutual attrition, and there was not much fluctuation in the line of defense.
Lao Xi knew that the advance army would definitely not let go of the British. Although it was renamed the Nufeng Mercenaries, its style was obvious, and the Soviet Russia fought back then, forcing it to cede a large area of land. Japan, they drove tens of thousands of kilometers, and in the end, the escaped Japanese army was wiped out in South Africa. It can be seen that its nature of retribution can endure the blatant provocation of Britain?
Therefore, while fighting the winter war with Soviet Russia, he began to mobilize troops near the English Channel, ready for the opportunity. Take the opportunity to prepare for an attack on the British mainland, put an end to this confrontation, destroy the living forces of Britain, and turn around to deal with Soviet Russia with all its might.
His abacus was known to Dong Ku, and the army on his side had not yet been mobilized, and as soon as he had a plan, Dong Ku received the news.
"You want to take advantage of the fire to rob me and drag me into your camp completely?"
Dong Ku sneered after reading the message.
Zuo Boyang took the message and read it and said, "Captain, isn't it time to add some new guys to Lao Maozi?" We can put away the test specimens that we don't need anymore. ”
"Yes! OK! ”
Dong Ku nodded heavily, and then smiled: "Adjutant, do you know, why is this weapon the name of Soviet Russia?" ”
"Was it for them in the first place?"
Zuo Boyang asked suspiciously.
"Yes, it's for them, let Lao Xi suffer a little hard, increase the purchase of weapons, save him still has the energy to think about the west, research and develop new weapons by himself, and have the energy to make a profit."
After Dong Ku finished speaking, he then ordered: "Inform the dog to invite the Soviet and Russian officials to observe the new weapon." ”
In less than an hour, Teslovsky, the Russian official in charge of contact with the dog, stood at the weapons test site that he had been to several times, not knowing what new weapons he needed to observe this time. But he doesn't say no and looks forward to it, because every time he gets a full load, he thinks it's worth it, even though he pays for it with gold and jewelry.
At the test site, a truck covered in canvas was parked not far away, and Tesslowski took off his cotton gloves and held binoculars, ready to see what kind of new weapon it was.
With the order, the truck lifted the covering, revealing rows and rows of gun barrels.
This is......
Looking at the twenty or thirty barrels, Teslovsky didn't understand what they were. But apparently it's a cannon class.
The dog didn't care about Teslovsky's reaction, and calmly ordered: "Target No. 1 target position, fire with all your might!" ”
"Target Position 1 is locked!"
"Ready to launch!"
"Launch!!"
In the midst of the shouts, a small red flag fell suddenly, and with it, a picture appeared that stunned Teslowski.
In the sound of a roar, the multi-barreled artillery carriage was flooded with flames, tongues of fire gushed out, and the fire dragons fled quickly, and a few seconds later, the distant hillside bombarded and the huge target position was covered by dense explosions, and in less than a minute, it became a sea of fire.
"Reload! Keep launching!! ”
The dog's eyes did not look at the stunned Teslovsky, and ordered to continue firing.
With the order, a group of soldiers pushed the cart to quickly approach the gun truck, and then opened the boxes on the car, and one by one two or three meters long cannon shells filled the barrel, busy for a few seconds, and then evacuated, and then the fire flashed again, and the tongues of fire rushed to the potholed hillside......
The stunned Tesslowski had not yet recovered his composure, and four trucks of the same model slowly drove into the test site, and then the barrels of the guns were raised, and in less than a minute, the dense tongue of fire blinded Tesslowski's eyes again.
The mountain bag in front of it was no longer visible, it was full of fire and smoke, a few broken tanks parked there, a few concrete and stone houses, bunkers, trenches, lost a trace in the artillery fire, and after ten minutes of gunsmoke cleared, Teslovsky was horrified to see that there was nothing left.
"General Li, what kind of weapon is this......"
Teslovsky asked with a trembling voice.
"Old friend, this is the latest weapon of our army, called Katyusha rocket artillery!"
Dogan replied with a smile.
Katyusha......
Teslowski's mind was spinning, and instead of paying attention to the special part of the name, he asked urgently: "My friend, you didn't call me here just to see the shooting show, but say, what do I need to pay for this weapon?" ”
"Haha!"
"Of course, this is a weapon to help you win the war, we can't just sell you expendable weapons shells, this weapon will determine the outcome of the war, a platoon of thirty vehicles will cover several kilometers of defense line, and can destroy everything there." We'll go for a drink and decide the price later, but the quantity can tell you, 500 Katyusha of the same model and 10 base rockets, you will automatically get the transfer of this technology, and ensure the supply of rockets, so that you will not have artillery and ammunition ......" (to be continued......
