Chapter 395: The Great War is Coming
Silva is indeed very energetic in Europe, a month and a half is very tight, Chen Hao originally thought he would object, but Silva readily agreed. Although he spent a huge sum of 3.5 million taels of silver, Chen Hao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the Vietnamese suddenly threw a lot of money to buy arms, which put a lot of pressure on him.
Two hundred large-caliber guns were installed on the batteries in advance, which would be a disaster for the attacking Vietnamese players, and there would be no problems in defending Cam Ranh Bay. Chen Hao was secretly glad that his subordinates Guan Lianhai and a few people could train artillery, and he had always attached great importance to the artillery battalion at Yingkou, and was willing to take cannonballs to NPCs for practice, and now the cultivated artillery finally came in handy.
Although the Vietnamese invested so much money and bought some artillery, their artillery did not exert much power when attacking. Artillery, as a technical branch, is more difficult to train than other arms, and it also needs to burn more money. Even if the Vietnamese players have updated their equipment, and there are no artillery talents, most of their artillery is just decoration.
Chen Hao's judgment was completely correct, Ruan Junxi and others, who had invested a lot of money, mainly bought rifles and heavy machine guns, and the number of artillery pieces was not too much. He found out the exact number through Silva, and the total number of artillery guns purchased by Vietnamese players was 136, which was basically 75 mountain guns.
Chen Hao's base originally had some mountain artillery and a large number of mortars, combined with naval guns and fortress guns, and this firepower was equivalent to the artillery fire of a large-scale battle. Even if the Vietnamese had a numerical advantage, were on the attacking side and were overpowered by artillery, it was completely impossible for them to capture Cam Ranh Bay.
After Chen Hao returned to Cam Ranh Bay, he immediately ordered the arsenal to work overtime to produce 200 mm caliber artillery shells. When the time comes, the artillery will shoot non-stop, and I will never stop until I blow up you monkeys.
Vietnamese players are regrouping for war, Cam Ranh Bay is also building fortifications, and a large number of refugees have arrived to provide ample labor. It costs a lot of money every day on NPC civilians. But seeing that the defense system of Cam Ranh Bay was gradually taking shape, Chen Hao was happy from the bottom of his heart.
A month passed quickly, and Silva brought good news to Chen Hao, two hundred large-caliber Krupp guns had been loaded in Europe, and they would arrive at Cam Ranh Bay in more than ten days. At the same time, Silva also told Chen Hao that the Vietnamese planned to spend two months preparing for the fight. In two months the tower does not have to worry and can continue to improve the fortifications.
The four white demons in Britain would send a telegram to Chen Hao every few days to report on the progress of the mission, and they did the task quite smoothly, and the second treasure map would be available soon. After mortgaging the warship to Silva, he had already gambled everything, and Captain Ginter's treasure must not be lost in any way, otherwise the fleet in his hands would be ruined.
One battleship, as well as four advanced cruisers, worth more than 3.5 million silver dollars. Silva must have wished he could not afford to pay it back. As soon as he finds Captain Ginter's treasure, he will soon be able to pay it off, at which point he can continue to work with Silva and allow him to start customizing dreadnoughts in European shipyards.
Silva's Ford finally arrived in Cam Ranh Bay, loaded with two hundred large-caliber Krupp guns. After the Ford entered the inner harbor of Cam Ranh Bay, Chen Hao immediately ordered martial law in the inner harbor, and all players left the dock. Heavily armed NPC guards guard the docks, and NPC soldiers unload the artillery. Then the artillery was quietly transported to the various batteries at night.
Chen Hao wanted to surprise the Vietnamese players, so he didn't allow his purchase of a large number of fortress guns to leak out. Due to the fact that the artillery was too bulky. There will certainly be some clues, but if you are careful, the Vietnamese will not be able to find out how many artillery pieces he has purchased. A large number of Vietnamese players have invested money to buy 136 75 mountain guns, and even if they have a lot of imagination, it is difficult for them to imagine that 200 200 mm caliber fortress guns have been installed in Cam Ranh Bay.
All the turrets in Cam Ranh Bay are all NPC artillery, and players are not allowed to approach around the turrets, so no one knows whether there are any artillery on the turrets. The installation of the artillery was also carried out by NPCs hired by Chen Hao. The role of the Emperor's Mind Technique stunt is reflected, otherwise such a big project will inevitably leak the news.
Two months have passed, and the Vietnamese players gathered in Nha Trang have a new look, and the big players have been equipped with Mauser G98 rifles. The power of money is not so abundant, and it also grits its teeth and matches the players who participate in the mission with Mauser 1888. Each faction also had a varying number of artillery pieces and heavy machine guns.
Every player is full of confidence, and the weapon update has greatly improved their combat effectiveness, and they can't wait to pass the test of the big battle. Seeing the high morale of the players, Nguyen Junxi and the others felt that the time had come to attack Cam Ranh Bay, and began to register the players participating in the battle in Nha Trang.
According to the regulations drafted by Ruan Junxi and others, each player participating in the battle must register uniformly before receiving the task, and players with poor equipment are absolutely not allowed to receive the task to occupy the quota. To this end, the bosses of the major Vietnamese forces set up a joint command and elected Nguyen Jun Xi as the commander-in-chief, responsible for the overall deployment of the Cam Ranh Bay Campaign.
Chen Hao's base area plus the player's army of 30,000 people, so there are 120,000 players in Vietnam who receive the mission, which is exactly a 4:1 ratio. After the formation of the coalition army, he suggested that the arms purchased by the major forces should not be sent back for the time being, and if the attack on Cam Ranh Bay failed, donate arms for players who did not receive the mission to continue the attack.
Nguyen Junxi's suggestion was praised by many people, saying that he has great courage and is a person who really does great things. If a Vietnamese player participates in the attack without receiving the task of resisting the invasion, they will not receive any rewards during the battle, and the penalty for death is very heavy. Nguyen Thuan proposed to keep some of the arms in Nha Trang in order to lure players into the war at all costs, so that Vietnamese players would have an overwhelming advantage when attacking Cam Ranh Bay.
Chen Hao had already arranged for someone to inquire about the news in Nha Trang, and after learning of Nguyen Jun Xi's decision, he had to admit that this guy was a tricky person. With this arrangement, the Cam Ranh Bay base will not only face 120,000 players who participate in the mission, but also some Vietnamese players who want to get arms will launch an onslaught even if they do not receive the mission.
"Fortunately, Lao Tzu made preparations in advance, otherwise the Vietnamese monkeys would have harassed them regardless of the cost after their defeat, although they would not have taken Cam Ranh Bay, but it would be a big trouble." After Chen Hao scolded a few words, he also set up a command headquarters in Cam Ranh Bay, he himself commanded 20,000 players to fight, and 10,000 NPC troops were handed over to Wu Peifu.
The 120,000 Vietnamese players marched south in full gear, which looked spectacular and attracted a lot of attention. This news was mentioned on forums in various countries, and the British player posted: "This is a battle between Chinese player Chen Baxian and a country, the balance of power is too great, it is not easy for Cam Ranh Bay to repel a Vietnamese attack, and now in the face of 120,000 Vietnamese players armed to the teeth, it is only a matter of time before Cam Ranh Bay falls." ”
The top post on the official website of Vietnam Games reads: "Chen Baxian is arrogant and domineering, and he actually went to my country to establish a base, and my country's players united to launch an attack. In the past, our equipment was very backward and was often ridiculed by players from other countries, but now that our players are well-equipped, Chen Baxian will soon be driven into the sea to feed the sharks. This battle is a battle for the rise of our Vietnamese players, and the recapture of Cam Ranh Bay will be a landmark event that will go down in history textbooks like a real-life event. Take back Cam Ranh Bay to wash away the shame, and then all the players will unite, and together we will rewrite the plot of the game, and our country will get rid of the colonial status ahead of schedule. ”
The French players are not willing to be lonely: "I don't have any good feelings for either the Chinese or the Vietnamese, Indochina is a colony of our country, and I hope to maintain it for decades, or even forever, as it has done in history." Chen Ba occupied Cam Ranh Bay first, which is a threat to our country, and I can understand that our players support the Vietnamese to fight Cam Ranh Bay. It's just that what I don't understand is why some players will sell a large number of arms to the Vietnamese, the fall of Cam Ranh Bay is inevitable, but after the Vietnamese players take Cam Ranh Bay, they will be armed to the teeth will be willing to be a colony of Vietnam? Those players who sold arms to Vietnam will inevitably regret what they did......"
Goryeo Bangzi also posted on the forum: "The Chinese invaded Vietnam within a few years of the game's operation, and they themselves are still semi-colonies, but they are still thinking about invading weaker players, and I feel disgusted by the behavior of Chinese players." Recently, there are Chinese players on the border of our country, they are obviously influenced by Chen Baxian, and now the brave Vietnamese players are united, they have the strength to resist the invasion, and their recapture of Cam Ranh Bay can teach those Chinese players who are ready to move a profound lesson. ”
"Boss Tran Ba Xian was the first player to establish a base abroad, fighting all the Vietnamese on his own, and we wanted to help but couldn't do anything. Even if Boss Chen is defeated, he deserves the admiration of all our players, and it is a miracle that he can establish a base in Nanyang alone! Boss Chen rises up, even if Cam Ranh Bay falls, there are still many excellent ports in the South Seas, wait until your fleet is strong and then take Cam Ranh Bay back. ”
"Boss Chen, we support you, and when I save money in the game, I will definitely go to Cam Ranh Bay to fight side by side with you."
"Capable brothers in the game, let's all pool our money and hire a boat to go to Cam Ranh Bay! Even if Boss Chen's army reaches the upper limit, we can't help in the form of a mission, but can't we do it in vain? ”
Forums around the world are talking about the imminent war, and the mainstream posts have one thing in common, that is, they believe that Cam Ranh Bay cannot be held. Including Chinese players, although they don't want the Vietnamese to take Cam Ranh Bay, they also feel intellectually that Cam Ranh Bay can't be defended. (To be continued......)
