Chapter 57: Corsica
Corsica is right next to Livorno, and the Naval Exchange was chosen here because it was relatively safe until the Mediterranean was completely cleared. It's a bit like going to the battlefield after the parade.
After so many years, some people also proposed to change the venue, but there was no consensus at all, and the American animal wanted to play the Caribbean idea before the Qiji in his own house was cleaned up, so he naturally wanted to go to the West Indies, and the Eastern Empire chose the East Indies. It's just one word away, but it's half a world away. So in the end, it was over.
There are two venues, Bastia in the north is the home of the joint exchange meeting, but most of the students here are from all over the world. Ajaccio Bay in the southwest is where the bigwigs gather, which is also the destination of Xu Zhonglin's trip.
Ajaccio may not be famous, but the 'little cannon' that came out of here was invincible all over Europe, yes, Napoleon.
Before he arrived at the port, Caprela said to him beside Xu Zhonglin: "It's done, I'll do things for you every day, sometimes I think I'm your servant." ”
When he decided to go to the Navy for a few years, Lily Barosh became a problem. Xu Zhonglin didn't want her to fool around outside aimlessly, but the stunned navy was obviously a pit and couldn't enter, so he asked Caprela to help Lily get a fake school registration, clear her identity, and prepare to send her to the Gallic chicken to mix for three years.
The reason for choosing France is very simple, in this world, the Gallic chicken and the stupid navy are not very good.
The reason is very simple, caused by the lack of Xiaohang's mother. The two unlucky brothers have the same illness, and each has only two Xiaohang mothers to summon. And the stunned Aquila prototype also set an unparalleled record, she is the only ship with ninety-nine ships of the same position.
With so many ship mothers of the same position, it is a huge difficulty just to choose a name and tell who is who, let alone fight. I don't know if the Aquila will be schizophrenic when he looks at himself every day.
Less than a hundred ships are because they can't be summoned anymore since they reached ninety-nine. By the time he realized this problem, the Milagria already had more than seventy ships of the same position. France was not having a good time, and when this problem was discovered, the ships of the same position of Commander Béarn and Commander Steth combined were more than one hundred and sixty.
The sorrow of the two countries has made a huge and outstanding contribution to the relationship between the world research prototype ship and the ship mother of the same position, and what is even more tragic is that a large part of these little hangers are still in the hands of the admirals.
Originally, the impact was not great, and it was not enough in my own country, so I just went to the town guard of other countries to summon it. But what is embarrassing is that since then, countries have restricted people from other countries to use the aircraft carrier core to summon in their own country's town guard mansion, not only aircraft carriers, submarines, and heavy cruisers have been restricted. You can summon it if you want, but the huge price makes the hearts of both countries bleed, but there is nothing to be done.
Xu Zhonglin looked at the large number of aircraft carriers flying the flag of the United States and the United States parked in the bay, and felt a deep malice, the entire fleet stretched out, and there was a feeling that he could not see the edge at a glance. Is this on the show? Yes, that's on the show. Look, we can pull out a few square kilometers of Xiaohang Ma in a meeting.
Not only the beautiful animals, but the sun never sets and the Eastern Empire have also brought a considerable scale of Xiaohang Ma, which is simply a slap in the face.
The proud French are the most face-saving, and at this time they can only pull out the most awesome battleships to fill the façade.
So it was Richelieu who greeted Xu Zhonglin.
Sister Li in this world is very stubborn, and the hull has undergone major changes, explosion changes, and ultimate metamorphosis enhancements, and has become a four-seat quadruple 380 pipe. The huge hull was parked right next to the dock, leaving the last fig leaf for the Gallic chickens.
But Xu Zhonglin is not qualified to despise others, his current thoughts only have infinite longing and yearning: "This must be at least 70,000 tons!" ”
Capreira nodded, "Exceeded." ”
This reminded a certain admiral of Montana in his pocket watch. When will my brother be able to take it out and compare it with Sister Li?
Sister Li has long honey-blond soft hair and big eyes, which looks like a cute thing to anyone. Of course, if you really treat her as a cute thing, I guess it's hehe. Because I don't know it very well, I speak in polite diplomatic terms.
Xu Zhonglin didn't pay much attention to this, he saw Cato Miroda behind Sister Li, as well as sappers and javelins.
Cato has tanned a lot, his chin has actually begun to have shaggy stubble, and of course his face is still very immature. After the veneer ceremony, Cato said excitedly, "I've been waiting for you for a few days, why are you here?" ”
"Just catch up, it's useless to come early."
Cato pulled him: "Come, introduce you to my new companions, Regolo and Mangro, they are both prototype cruisers." ”
it! Classmate, are you drying the boat with me?! Don't you know that my brother can't get a contract with a lot of ships now?
But when he looked at it with the eyes of hell, he was stunned, more than five thousand tons, it actually had a speed of 40 knots, and there were eight torpedo tubes and eight 135 guns!
Cheating! This is simply an enhanced version of Barcelisa! What is your cruiser 40 knots for?
I have to say that this thing is really a genius design, and it is no problem to hunt and expel properly. The tonnage of 5,000 tons can also ensure that the quantity is large and cheap. Just now, he despised others, but now he found that with the current strength of his fleet, these two small cruisers could not be defeated by themselves.
So Cato was very proud: "This is the essence of our Italy, if it weren't for our family, I wouldn't have been able to contract them." ”
The essence is concentrated enough! It's so glorious to fight daddy! A certain admiral complained with some jealousy.
"How can you make so many contracts?"
"Use the military's contract hall."
But I forgot that I also have one-eighth of the inheritance of the northern deep-sea chief inhabitant. Public and private use! Where is the country? The decaying aristocracy should be wiped out. A certain admiral was even angrier.
Fortunately, Cato continued: "When you join the Italian Navy, you will be able to use it." ”
In an instant, my mind was balanced.
"How do you know I'm going to join the Italian Navy?"
"Haha, in Italy, there is only what our family doesn't want to know, and there is nothing that we can't know!" This forced pretend, give one hundred and one points, and a certain admiral feels that he has a successor.
But he had a question that was inconvenient to ask, so he could only ask Sissi in his heart: Why did you change the name of the country before?
Sissi's answer is very worried about the country and the people: we prototype ship girls are afraid that the world will have another large-scale war of attrition like World War I and World War II, and we want to try to blur the concept of the state among human beings, and even the concepts of culture and customs are as vague as possible, so as to minimize ideological conflicts. However, for the admiral with a prototype ship, we generally popularize it, which can enhance the admiral's sense of belonging and honor, and can give full play to the enthusiasm for battle.
This answer is really slippery.
