Chapter 221: East Asia 17

[Carriers get four "Tennessee"-class armored cruisers and "Connecticut"-class battleships for free, and they have all been released!] 怑

The control panel of the control center immediately displays the relevant parameters for Li Mu's reference. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The standard displacement of the armored cruisers of the "Tennessee" class has increased by 14,500 tons, the maximum speed is 22 knots, and the endurance is 7,300 nautical miles / 10 knots.

Armed with four eight-inch (254 mm) 40-caliber Mk-3 guns, with a rate of fire of two rounds per minute, it has a maximum range of more than 18 km, and can penetrate 228 mm thick Krupp nickel-chromium steel armor at a distance of five km.

The secondary guns were 16 152-mm 50-caliber Mk-8 rapid-fire guns and 22 76-mm 50-caliber Mk-2 rapid-fire guns.

The former has a maximum range of more than 14 kilometers and a rate of fire of up to 6-7 rounds per minute; The latter has a rate of fire of up to 15-20 rounds per minute and a maximum range of 6400 meters.

The Connecticut-class battleship is the world's top pre-dreadnought, with a standard displacement of 16,000 tons, a speed of 18 knots, and a cruising range of 6,620 nautical miles / 10 knots.

It has two 12-inch (305 mm) 45-caliber MK-5 twin-mounted main guns, eight 8-inch 45-caliber primary secondary guns, and 12 7-inch 45-caliber secondary secondary guns.

The broadside armor belts were 280 mm thick, the turret was 305 mm, and the conning tower was also 225 mm thick.

Even if the road is narrow in the future, there will be no problems with the main force of the combined fleet, the "Fuji" class battleships.

"Lao Tzu has these eight ships, it is enough to sweep the Qing Navy, and by the way, send the Japanese Navy to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish!" Li Mu is now full of confidence and ready to do a big job.

The "Eight Great Distances" of the Beiyang Naval Division together are not enough for four "Connecticut"-class battleships to bombard for five minutes!

The Tennessee-class armored cruisers were fast and had powerful main guns, allowing them to hunt down many of their contemporaries.

The "Yoshino" and "Sankei" of the Combined Fleet could not hold up for more than a while in front of the formidable "Tennessee", and had to sink to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

His own fleet is also counted in the world, and I am afraid it is behind the Royal Navy of the British Empire!

With them, he can attack the Port of Arthur immediately, and it is really suitable to use this place as a lair.

The standard equipment of 10,000 infantry is the Type 1903 rifle, 7.62 mm caliber, five-round magazine design, and the performance is not much different from the German "Mauser".

Weapons of mass destruction, such as machine guns and artillery, are not randomly introduced, but with MCV base vehicles, these are all pieces of cake.

Not to mention these fixed-point things, even planes and tanks will be built in groups in the future, for fear that there will not be enough enemies!

"Let me see ......" Li Mu also has to take a good look at the cost of each unit, this is the live-action version of the Red Alert game.

The control screen shows that you have 1 million gold coins, which can be used to build or produce at will.

A mine is worth 100,000 gold coins, and the price is not low, equivalent to one-tenth of one's own liquidity.

However, it comes with ten large excavators and two hundred dump mining trucks, which can also be automatically screened, smelted and purified.

It's gold coins in your hands, so it's acceptable.

The specific location where Li Mu is located is Gaizhou on the northern edge of the Liaodong Peninsula, not far from Yingkou.

To the north, there is the famous mineral vein in China - Anshan-Benxi!

To the south, it is the focus of contention between the Qing and Japanese sides - Lushun-Dalian!

Going north, although you can get a lot of iron ore, Ambena is inland, which is equivalent to actively abandoning the protection of the fleet.

For oneself, whose initial strength is not too strong, the gains outweigh the losses, and although the investment is high, the risk is too great.

Going south, you can wait for the opportunity to make a profit, but it is more likely to set yourself on fire, and 100,000 devils will pounce on you, which is a bit difficult to parry.

It's a good choice to stay put, and the screen shows that there is a gold mine with reserves of 500 tons in Maoling, Gaizhou.

"That's it!" After repeated trade-offs, Li Mu decided to take root and wait for development before expanding.

According to the data provided by the MCV computer, one ton of gold corresponds to 10,000 gold coins, so mining 500 tons of gold ore can get 5 million gold coins!

A mine invests all the machinery and equipment, and the total consumption time is five years, with an average of 500,000 gold coins per year, and the investment cost can be recovered in less than three months.

The price of heavy factories and shipyards is only 100,000 gold coins, and the corresponding relationship between the weapons produced and the gold coins is that 10,000 gold coins can make 1,000 tons of weapons.

That is, one ton of gold for a thousand tons of weapons, a standard displacement of 16,000 tons, and the cost of the "Connecticut" class battleships is 16 tons of gold (160,000 gold coins).

Fractions can be dispensed with, and this includes the cost of combat personnel, as long as they are willing to spend money, the shipyard can build the ship with people.

Every 1,000 tons of weapons corresponds to a maximum of 1,000 people, and Li Mu can only get weapons for the excess, and then post small advertisements to recruit local natives.

If you dislike that the quality of the natives is too low, you can build a barracks, and an obedient dogleg only costs five gold coins, ten gold coins for ordinary pack horses, and twenty gold coins for high-headed war horses.

The upper limit for the construction of a barracks is 100,000 people or cattle every year, and if Li Mu feels that the number of troops is not enough, he can spend another 100,000 gold coins to build a second barracks.

In the early stage, the traverser only planned to build a power plant, two mines, a heavy factory, a barracks, a material factory, and even the dockyard was saved when the battleship needed to be repaired.

Reproduce some artillery and machine guns and other infantry heavy weapons, get some war horses out, and use them for scouts, even if they are alive.

The total supply cost less than half a million gold coins, and the rest was used as working capital in case of emergency.

"So, what is the name of this army? What is the country name? "Li Mu still has to think about it

His surname is Li, of course, he can't claim it to the outside world, and he has a chicken feather relationship with Li Hongzhang, the second devil with a bad reputation.

Li Mu suddenly thought of a good backer: "Let's just say that it is the descendant of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the Nth generation great-grandson, don't everyone make it up like this?" Hahahaha~! ā€

The country name is naturally "Tang", in order to distinguish it, the Tang Dynasty that has been hung up has become the old Tang Dynasty, and this is the new Tang Dynasty!

How powerful was the Tang Dynasty? It is famous in the world, and it wants to revive the majesty of China and stand on the earth.

However, MCV is from the U.S. military, and the followers who came through were also Sam's soldiers, and the production mode could not be adjusted to the faces of the Chinese, which seemed to be a bit of a pit!

Whatever, when he enters the capital and ascends the throne, who will dare to make irresponsible remarks?

What's wrong with using foreigners? You are bullied by foreigners, Lao Tzu calls foreigners, who is strong and who is weak, it is clear at a glance!

I'm afraid that in three or four years, those well-educated people will kowtow to themselves and recognize their new masters!

After Bangdao exposed the Dongxue Fu Qiyi in the spring, in the face of the severe situation in full swing, it was difficult for King Li to suppress the rebellion in various places on his own, so he invited the suzerain, the Qing Dynasty, to send troops to suppress it cautiously.

After the imperial court calculated, it sent Ye Zhichao and Nie Shicheng to lead nearly 3,000 Qing troops to Bangdao to quell the rebellion, and as the war intensified, it finally increased to 20 battalions, about 10,000 people.

Under the pretext of protecting local expatriates and merchants, Japan came uninvited, and after the summer, more than 20,000 troops landed on Bangdao Island.

With the permission of Emperor Kosho, Aritomo Yamagu, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately resigned from his important cabinet post and personally went into battle to command the First Army to march north from Busan.

This time, Japan's main battle force on Bangdao Island is much smaller than in history, because Komasa has clearly instructed the military not to expand the war, and those who violate the order will be loyal!

By buying and selling oil fields, Japan has received the raw capital it needs to develop its economy and promote its own industrialization.

The one-time annexation of Bangdao would cause discontent from Russia, wariness from Britain, and the other powers would also take the opportunity to attack Japan.

For Tokyo, it may be more appropriate to eat half of the cake, but the remaining half is in the mouth anyway, and there is no way to run away at all.

On June 25, the Japanese army captured Seoul and immediately recruited pro-Japanese royalty and nobles to establish the puppet fortress.

After many consultations with the Qing Dynasty, it was finally decided that the south of the 39th parallel would be Japan's sphere of influence, and a five-kilometer-wide isolation zone would be set up north to prevent military friction between the two sides.

Emperor Kosho and the cabinet members toasted and drafted an edict naming the southern kingdom of the Lee clan as ...... The Kingdom of Korea, referred to as Korea!

The new king immediately paid tribute to Japan, presented his credentials to Emperor Kosho, and provided Japan with all security protections as suzerain.

The two sides signed the "Japan-South Korea Treaty of Friendship and Alliance" in Seoul, under which Japan enjoyed the right to garrison troops in South Korea, with no restrictions on the number and types of troops, and the address of the station was optional. If an officer or soldier commits a crime, he must be handed over to the Japanese side for full trial.

Japanese-funded enterprises enjoy permanent tax exemption, the purchase price of land should not be higher than the level of Korean enterprises, and they have the right to set their own wages.

The total strength of the ROK army shall not exceed 5,000, and each unit shall not exceed 200 men, and all weapons that must be purchased must be approved by the Japanese side before they can be equipped. During the war, the Japanese side had the supreme command of the ROK army.

Government documents are no longer written in kanji, but in Chinese-Chinese fonts, and all elementary and junior high schools offer Japanese language classes, and 1,000 international students are sent to Japan every year, at the expense of the Japanese side.

The king of the north, Gaozong Li Xi, dared not speak out about this, and had no other way than to throw a few cups in his room in anger and complain to the Qing army generals stationed in Pingsu.

Yuan Datou, the top representative of the Qing Dynasty stationed on Bang Island, can only comfort him with a few words, judging from the current situation and the military strength of both sides, Li Xi can save half of the country, which is already a blessing in misfortune.

If the Japanese army insisted on going north, there would be a fierce battle between the two sides, and Ye and Nie were not sure to repel the Japanese army and hold Pingyu.

If you don't do it, you will have to worry about your life, and now this goods is still the king, and it is definitely picked up, Li Xi should be stealing the fun!

Both the Qing Dynasty and Japan were generally satisfied with maintaining the status quo, and they did not mind that the local indigenous Manchus were not satisfied.

In order to prevent the Japanese from turning their faces against themselves, the imperial court sent Wei Rugui to lead the 12th battalion of the Shengjun infantry team and the 6th battalion of horse teams under the command of Lu Benyuan to support Ye and Nie's troops at any time.

Fengsheng A led the 10th battalion of the Shengzi training army and the green battalion and the 10 battalions of the Eight Banners to defend the northern area of the Liaodong Peninsula, Nie Guilin (the 4th battalion of the Feng Army) and the 5th battalion of the 8 Banners were stationed on the first line of the Yalu River, and the Jingbian Army under General Ji Lin and Changshun was assisted in the defense.

Ronglu commanded the 30 battalions of the armed guards reorganized from the 20,000 "forbidden flags" in the capital to be stationed in Mukden as a backup force for the various departments.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Armed Guard Army, which has not been established for a long time, is not very good, it is still possible to use it with new weapons to scare people.

Even if Ronglu is as incompetent as the Wuwei Army under his command, his loyalty, the sun and the moon can be seen, let him guard his hometown outside the pass, where the dragon vein is, Lafayette is more assured.

Lushun, as the most important nest of Lao Litou, of course, will not be negligent, Lord Zhongtang deployed the Beiyang Protector Army, which has the strongest combat effectiveness of the Huai system, to cover many forts, and Liu Shengxiu led the eight battalions of the Ming Army to assist.

Xu Bangdao commanded the four battalions of the infantry team, the two battalions of the horse team, and the first battalion of the artillery team, and provided the Gong Guards of the seventh battalion, and cooperated with the fourth battalion of the Ming Army of Pan Wancai's department to garrison the back road of Dalian Bay.

Although Lao Li Tou was not happy to go south to suppress the bandits, he received more and more edicts, and the words in them became more and more severe and tough.

In desperation, he had to send Zhang Guangqian, the registered commander-in-chief, to lead the five battalions of the Qinqing Army to the south to cooperate with the Hunan people to conquer the rebellion on Baodao.

Based on Liu Buyun's speculation and analysis, he is not optimistic about the battle on Treasure Island, because the sailor who was born in the future is too powerful.

It was difficult for the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of the sea, and it was even more difficult to carry out a large-scale landing operation and defeat the enemy.

Lao Li couldn't control so much, why hadn't this battle been fought, and the Huai people in his hands had been divided into five, and they couldn't support each other.

Nie Shicheng's troops were far away on Bang Island, Zhang Guang's front department went south to Fujian, Zhang Gaoyuan led the Songwu army to guard Weihaiwei, and Lushunkou had a lot of men and horses.

Originally, Dai Zongqian's fourth battalion of the Sui Army and Liu Chaopei's fourth battalion of the Gong Army were also dispatched by Lao Li Tou, but both of them were taken to the front line of Fujian by a sudden holy decree.

Lao Li didn't say anything, but in his heart he was angry with the imperial court, blaming the cabinet for those wine bags and rice bags, especially Master Weng, who neither knew strategy nor was familiar with the art of war, was completely blind in command.

Therefore, until the southeast general ate the second attack of the clan army in Baobei, he led the main force of the Beiyang Naval Division to stand still in Shangyang, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

It's not too late to wait for the situation to become clearer before making a response.

In terms of the ability to judge the situation, Lao Li Tou is more clever than those big officials in the imperial court combined.

Before leaving, Lord Zhongtang ordered the various departments stationed in Weihaiwei and Lushunkou to immediately expand the 20 battalions of soldiers and horses in case of emergency.

Like a duck swimming in the water, the water surface is not alarmed, and the two paws under the surface of the water are pounding tightly......

Lord Zhongtang summed up in his heart, even if Yi Ke Wena was defeated on Treasure Island, and the five battalions of the Qinqing army led by Zhang Guangqian were gone, as long as the nest was not lost, it would be a good drop!

The little emperor wanted to use that rebellious hand to weaken the power of the Huai system, and may even directly order the abolition of the Huai army after the war.

Lao Li Tou had already guessed this, so let Zhang Guangqian cooperate with Yi Ke and toss it around the treasure island!

Now in this world, only when there are soldiers in hand, can you not panic in your heart.

No matter what happens on the front line, the most important thing is to preserve strength.
