On April 3, the American USS Panama was launched. 【】

On April 4, in a very short period of time, Brazilian players announced that they had developed a "coastal gun" designed to restrain the American "Panama" ironclad ship, with a range of up to 12 kilometers. Even the most sluggish people have guessed that there is some kind of arms technology deal between the Chinese Players Alliance and the Brazilian Players Alliance. This kind of arms deal is aimed at the United States.

The North American Players Alliance expressed strong dissatisfaction with this, and posted a post on the North American bulletin board in the official capacity of the "North American Alliance", demanding that the Chinese Players Alliance no longer sell arms technology to the South American Players Alliance organization. Otherwise, it will seriously hurt the feelings between players in China and the United States.

The Chinese Players Alliance quickly responded, stating on the bulletin board in China: Arms trading between players from various countries is a normal trade behavior, and no outsiders have the right to interfere. North American players don't try to act as the world's policeman.

North American players are angry, but they can't help it. The Chinese Players Alliance is not something they can deal with now, and they have no choice but to turn to pressure Brazil, asking to negotiate with Brazil, limit the number of Brazilian cannons produced, and restrict foreign sales, otherwise they will go to war with Brazil.

With the strong support of the Chinese player organization, the Brazilian league did not pay attention to this unreasonable demand at all, but accelerated the production of cannons. The Brazilian player organized the emergency transportation of dozens of coastal guns to Cuba and Venezuela. Players in both countries are almost always the most staunch anti-Americans, and they are fighting at the forefront of the anti-American movement, and they are in dire need of large, powerful arms and equipment that can stand up to American players.

If Cuban players were to acquire such a fierce weapon, it would seriously threaten the safety of American ironclads.

After receiving the relevant information, the North American alliance was furious and dispatched a "Panama" ironclad ship and thousands of gunboats to the waters around Cuba to deter and completely cut off the trade merchant ships between Cuba and Brazil.

The military atmosphere in South America has suddenly become tense.

On April 6, the first ironclad battleship "Guardian Saint 1" jointly built by players from Britain, France, and Germany in Europe was officially launched. Ironclad related data and videos. Published on the forums by the European Players Federation.

The Empire Europe forum was full of cheers, with players from the UK, Germany, France and other European countries vying to celebrate. Now, European players are finally breathing a sigh of relief, and they also have ironclad ships comparable to China's "Imperial 1" and North America's "Panama 1". This is a great relief for them, and it is also a great comfort.

To know. After China and the United States successively launched their respective subway armor ships. Europe, however, has been slow to come up with its own subway armor. This has been a great disappointment for countless ordinary European players. Greatly shaken morale and faith

Now European ironclads are born. Finally saved some face. It also saved Europe's confidence. But. This does not mean that Europe has regained its decline.

China's first ironclad ship was launched on March 29. Europe is seven days behind China. In these seven days. China's Zhoushui shipyard has not stopped at all. Rather, they are frantically building ironclad battleships. The entire Tanggukou Zhoushui Shipyard. It's been completely blocked. Patches of docks. At least hundreds of ironclad skeletons are being assembled simultaneously on the production line.

The Zhoushui shipyard has ceased to manufacture gunboats and ordinary wooden sailing ships. Mobilize all the NPC manpower to build ironclad ships.

Zhoushui Shipyard has hundreds of thousands of PC engineers. They worked day and night to build ironclads. Almost every three or four hours. Then an ironclad ship was launched. 6 ships a day. Seven days. Forty-two "Reich 1" ironclad ships have already been launched.

This degree. It's not normal. Rather, it is an arms race almost at all costs - because of the manufacture of ironclad ships. The cost is enormous. One ironclad ship is enough to compare the cost of dozens of gunboats.

Normally. Zhoushui Shipyard would never do this.

The reason for this is that the Trans-Siberian Railway will soon be completed.

All the locals know very well that now is not the time to make a profit, but to do everything in their power to increase the strength of the army. If the Chinese fleet were defeated in the First World War because of the insufficient number of ironclad ships, it would be more than just a matter of a small profit for the shipyards. Instead, it will lose Africa's big 6, the Indian Ocean, and even Southeast Asia, and be forced to retreat to China's coast, triggering a wider chain reaction.

After these ironclads are launched. Immediately formed a formation, all of which were sent to the military port of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean, and incorporated into the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet.

The Indian Ocean Fleet is one of China's three major fleets, and in the Indian Ocean, it can take advantage of Africa and Asia. In the event of a war in Africa 6 or Asia, they can all rush to the battlefield very quickly.

While sailing, the ironclad fleet used this time to carry out intensive training, sailing in formation, shelling, and enhancing the BSP; Such a voyage. Naturally, you can't hide from the eyes of the players.

Players from Southeast Asian countries along the way. The video of the fleet of dozens of "Imperial No. 1" ironclad battleships sailing in formation at sea was brought to the forum. caused wave after wave of sensation.

Under the cover of these sensational news, what the vast majority of players still don't know is that nearly 100 parts of fighter No. 1 and No. 1 bomber produced by China's Zhoushui Alliance have also been quietly loaded onto transport ships and transported to Africa Big 6 for assembly.

Now that the air force in the game is just getting started, it is far less useful than the naval fleet, and it has not achieved much success, so it has not attracted much attention.

In addition, the "Conch No. 1" submarine, the "Piercing Sky No. 1" frigate, and large transport ships produced in Qi, Wu, and Chu have also been launched. The submarine sails underwater, not attracting the attention of the player. The frigates used for air defense and anti-submarine purposes were also completely obscured by the huge light of the ironclad battleships.

"Conch-1" submarine: a dual-powered submarine. The water surface uses a gasoline engine power unit, with a flight of 7 knots and a cruising range of 1,000 nautical miles; Underwater using electric motor as the power, 5 knots, endurance 50 nautical miles. The depth of the dive is 12 meters. The armament consists of two boat torpedo tubes, door guns and mines.

"Thorn Sky 1" frigate: anti-submarine, air defense. 3 single-barreled guns and 4 double-barreled guns. 2 twin machine guns. 4 depth charge guns. Voyage: 18 knots.

The naval and air force equipment produced by Yan, Qi, Wu, and Chu was sent to ports in the Indian Ocean and Africa in batches.

The latest equipment of the 6th Army, individual weapons, tanks, armored vehicles, trucks, artillery, spacecraft, etc., produced by Qin, Zhao, Bashu, Wei, and Lu, were also sent to Siberia and Africa in batches to form an armored group army.

The arms race on a global scale is in full swing.

Stimulated by the strong smell of gunpowder in Asia, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, North America, South America, and the Middle East, almost all of their military factories and shipyards are operating at full capacity. Try to make a last-ditch effort on the eve of the inevitable explosion of the First World War. The popularity of the official forums of "Empire" is as fierce as the arms race. After almost every country has produced a batch of large-scale equipment, it will make a big announcement at the forum to strengthen its own prestige.

Of course, there are some truths and some falsehoods in this messy information. Some countries deliberately exaggerate and misrepresent the quality and quantity of the goods in order to deter other countries and make them dare not act rashly. Some countries conceal the quality and quantity of some weapons and deceive other countries in an attempt to make a miraculous effect on the battlefield.

It's like the League of Russian Players. The Russian Players Alliance openly claims that it has assembled a large formation of ironclad battleships and will go to the Big 6 in Africa, but there is no such thing at all. The Russian Player Group has been secretly but quietly assembling an unknown number of armored armies, as well as a large number of infantry.

The Chinese Players Alliance is also very secretive about the deployment of Siberia, and has never explained how many armored armies it has reorganized in Siberia and Africa. Armored corps usually march at night and lurk during the day. With the exception of a handful of player executives, no one has been able to say exactly how many units there are in Siberia.

Western European players are most fond of exaggeration, often exaggerating the quality and quantity of weapons several times to scare African and Middle Eastern players.

You can trust some of the information on the forum, but you can't trust all of it. Tanks and armored convoys slowly drove through the streets, running over snow-covered roads, and the figures of NPC soldiers and player officers were everywhere. In mid-April, when the snow season in Moscow was coming to an end, NPC soldiers were still wearing thick jackets to protect themselves from the bitter cold.

On the eve of the outbreak of the war, the city of Moscow appeared strangely quiet, without a trace of restlessness. The leaders of Russia's ten largest player organizations and dozens of medium-sized player organizations gathered here today to determine the time for the start of the war.

Russian leaders from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod, Rostov-on-Don, Kazan, Samarra, Perm, Yekaterinburg, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, and other important cities have already arrived. This is almost the most elite player force in Russia.

In terms of strength, Moscow and St. Petersburg are the top two positions. Nosov in Moscow is the generalissimo, and Vladimir in St. Petersburg is the deputy generalissimo. The rest of the generals served as marshals.

"On April 13, there must be a war. The Chinese Trans-Siberian Railway is nearing completion, and the 13th is the last chance to sabotage their plan to annex Siberia. ”

There was no objection. They are ready, they have been waiting for concerted action for a long time.

As for the entire "Operation Blitzkrieg" operational deployment, they have already made an unknown number of deductions. Now there is no need to think about the details of the battle, the only thing that is needed is to make the decision to go to war.

"Since everyone agreed, the British and German allies of the European Covenant Organization, as well as the Allied forces in North America, were informed that the date of the war was set for the morning of April 13, Moscow time. At the same time, the European Organization and the North American Organization declared war on China and sent troops. ”
