A flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep. Xu Zhonglin asked himself if he was still a brave man, but when he followed the army back to the dilapidated port, he still felt gloomy.

It's been two days later, and the port's waterway, which had been blocked by mines, has just cleared a shipping lane.

Thanks to Lisa Gratini, the down-and-out aristocratic lady decisively ordered the laying of mines on the channel before the other party arrived, which, together with the mine array that existed outside the port, completely stifled the other party's attempt to force a landing. When the two Bismarck-class battleships shelled the port, she calmly commanded the few fortress guns here to return fire, and hit one of the opponent's shells, and finally saved the place, which can be described as a great contribution.

It was almost the only highlight of the night two days ago.

Yes, Xu Zhonglin's performance of the Italian Navy that night can only be described as ugly!

The eastern and western islands of the Gal ganai archipelago fell in just three hours, and the fleet led by Colonel Costa, the supreme commander of the Howmet Tsuke, fled in a hurry with the numerical superiority, losing two battleships and one battlecruiser. This one-night war is not large in this world, and is defined as a conflict at best. After Costa fled with his team, Austria-Hungary did not pursue, but restrained his forces. But this cast a shadow over Italy's strategy on the Arabian Peninsula, and the military department was very unhappy about the defeat.

In the past two days, Xu Zhonglin has deduced countless times, if he is Costa, how will this naval battle be fought?

As a result, they all approached within 20,000 meters, and used Veneto-level excellent armor-piercing bullets to fight with the opponent in close quarters. The range of up to 55,000 kilometers of Bismarck-class battleships was unattainable by any battleship, and long-range artillery combat was the most unwise option.

Within 20,000 meters, it is best to 15,000 kilometers, three battleships set fire and give priority to solving one, even if they will lose one, the remaining one will definitely not be able to run, the main gun ratio is 27 to 16, almost double the advantage, just like that, it was wasted by a fool.

The harbor was in shambles, with huge craters, collapsed buildings, a pier that had just been extinguished and smoke remaining, and various debris fragments flying everywhere...... Devastation.

Costa came to Xu Zhonglin with a flattering face: "Lieutenant Colonel Xu, you also saw it a few days ago, I did my best, when the investigation team of the military department came in the afternoon, you have to testify for me!" ”

Xu Zhonglin smiled and said, "Okay, I really want the blueprints of the Veneto-class battleship!" ”

Who knew that Costa looked even happier: "No problem, no problem!" I'll send it to you later. ”

I was a little shocked by the shamelessness of this product, but it was acceptable, and it was no worse than those leaders who were busy looking for temporary workers every day. Xu Zhonglin picked up Anne who ran over: "Oh? I see you have one battleship left, and you won't use it anyway, so you might as well transfer it to me. ”

At this time, even if Costa passed the fourth and sixth level exams for intellectual retardation, he knew that Xu Zhonglin was hurting him, but this thing pointed at Xu Zhonglin's nose instead, as if it was late Parkinson's: "You...... How dare you? We Costa families won't let you go! ”

"If your family is all of you and Pia Costa's IQ, then hehe...... Mr. Costa, who do you think cares about the threat of a herd of pigs? "This thing is a waste now, how can Xu Zhonglin be worthy of the other party's care if he doesn't take the opportunity to step on his feet?

……

In the afternoon, at the Howmet Tsuke Pier, the people from the military department who dealt with the incident were finally coming, and everyone was waiting at the dock in unison, this time the casualties in the port were half, and the living people needed an explanation.

The fleet of the military department is very luxurious, and there are actually eight battle cruisers, battleships, and three aircraft carriers at one time, and the leader is the ship's mother, Garibaldi. To Xu Zhonglin's surprise, he saw Caprela's figure in the crowd, and he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Caprela stroked the scar on his face: "Is it broken?" ”

Someone grinned, "No, I feel like I've gotten more handsome lately." ”

The teacher was not amused by him this time, but looked solemn: "You did a very good job this time, and you are very brave." ”

Xu Zhonglin knew that some things were inconvenient to say now, so he stood behind the teacher and prepared to watch the play.

Garibaldi's dress today is different from last time, when Xu Zhonglin saw her a month ago, she was wearing a full hunting costume, very heroic, not quite in line with the aesthetics of the Oriental. This time, he was wearing a lieutenant general's uniform, and he looked even more murderous.

The rank of the ship girl is as effective in this world as the admiral's, but most of the time it is for the purpose of indicating rank, making it easier to command in wartime, and not very involved in day-to-day affairs. This ship's mother, Garibaldi, is an exception, she is the right-hand man of Marshal Arturo Moritti, the current supreme commander of Italy, and because of this, Xu Zhonglin went to her last time to ask for military expenses, and he got it without much effort.

Costa obviously also knew that this person had a lot of power, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted: "Hello Lieutenant General, welcome to your arrival!" ”

Garibaldi wasn't even in the mood to look at him, let alone return the favor. This is a very impolite act, bordering on insult, and it is the strongest political signal. Instead, the resolute shipwreck turned to Lisa Gratini beside Costa and said, "You're Lisa?" Great, you did a good job this time! ”

Seeing this, everyone knows that Costa is finished! And Lisa became the biggest beneficiary of this incident, and Garibaldi's words undoubtedly showed that the first credit for this time was the work of this down-and-out aristocratic lady, and the others immediately looked envious.

Lisa first glanced at Xu Zhonglin gratefully, and then said to Garibaldi: "I deserve your praise, this time thanks to Lieutenant Colonel Xu, it was he who reminded me in time, I was able to prepare in advance, at that time I was just thinking about being prepared." At that time, Lieutenant Colonel Xu also reminded others, but unfortunately there was no response. ”

Hearing this, everyone understood that the admiral from the east had done so many things this time. In fact, Lisa said this, she deliberately gave the first credit to Xu Zhonglin, she felt that compared to her own organization of defense in the port, it was just a small credit, the other party was the first to discover the enemy's opportunity, and then fought bloodily, almost wiped out the army, and should take the first credit.

Someone seems to be expressionless, but in fact, it is this feel that is more cool! God-like teammates! This black-haired girl with a slightly high forehead in someone's eyes is so cute at this time - the most beautiful person in the world!

It's not that he covets the credit of the down-and-out aristocratic lady, he is still quite satisfied with the current situation, the face of the Eastern Empire will always suffer some losses here, but with this sentence, he can get a lot of additional benefits this time.

Sure enough, Garibaldi glanced at Xu Zhonglin and nodded at him, which was regarded as approval.

That's it!
