Because the location of the shattered star region is between Mars and Jupiter, in this multinational competition around it, the countries on these two planets have the natural advantage of "building near water". However, on the Martian side, it is mainly the United States that is acting, while Jupiter's side is the most active in Japan!

Because Japan has just "won" the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, the current national sentiment is unprecedentedly high, and the newly appointed Prime Minister Fumihiro Konoe is a more radical fascist than Hirota Hiroki.

In another time and space, this guy is one of the war criminals who promoted the July 7 Incident and made Japan start a full-scale invasion of China. And in this time and space, although he did not dare to launch a full-scale invasion of China, he clamored for a "total encirclement" of Datang!

He advocated the occupation of all the habitable moons of Jupiter's circle through guò, making the Tang Dynasty a "country within a country" in Japan, and then using the "21 Articles of the Tang Dynasty" left by the "incompetent prime minister" Hirota Hiroki, which became Japan's raw material source and product dumping place, absorbing nutrients from this great empire to strengthen itself.

When Japan's strength completely surpasses that of Datang in the future, swallow it in one bite!

However, the ideal is very full, but the reality is still the backbone!

Although Datang lost a fleet battle, only the two defensive fleets of Xifeng and Far East were severely damaged, and the most elite Central Fleet and Northern Fleet were all unscathed, and the overall strength of the Datang Navy was still above the Japanese Combined Fleet.

The military experts on both sides of the Tang and Japanese sides are a little confused about this, but after all, the war was won by the Japanese side, and when people encounter such things that do not know the reason, they will always try to interpret it in a direction that is beneficial to them. As a result, a kind of "spiritual victory" argument appeared in the Japanese media and was widely recognized by the people.

Japanese military experts who put forward this argument believe that although the Tang Army was numerous and well-equipped, its living conditions were superior to those of Japan, which bred "hedonism" and corrupted their army. These demoralized troops and the government, which is greedy for life and fears death, are naturally no match for the brave and fearless "Great Japanese Locust Army."

And the same can be proven. Britain and the United States and other European powers are estimated to be like this!

Thanks to the frenzy brought about by this blind optimism, the "activity index" of the Japanese army in the Jupiter circle has simply jumped to the sky!

When Zhao's fleet arrived in front of Jupiter's gate, two groups of warships were facing each other, one of which was the Japanese Combined Fleet, which had been in the limelight recently, and the other was the Royal Netherlands Navy. The Japanese warships were in front of the Dutch fleet at this time, preventing them from approaching the stargate, and behind the Dutch fleet was a group of oil tankers.

Although the main extraterrestrial colony of the Netherlands is on Venus, 40 years ago, they also took advantage of the civil strife in the Tang Dynasty to occupy Ganymede as their "Far Eastern colony". And in 1925, a Dutch geologist discovered a huge oil field with rich reserves in the area. Overjoyed, the Dutch also took a fancy to the area, and even deployed most of their naval warships to Callisto to secure their control of the oil fields.

In contrast, although Japan's Ganymede is very large, most of the entire surface of the planet is a vast ocean, and the land area has few reserves of various resources. Especially when it comes to oil, which is almost entirely dependent on imports.

That's why Japan has always looked down on the Netherlands, thinking that they were thieves who came to their homes to steal things!

"Young Master, what are those devils blocking the Star Gate?"

"What else can you do! I want the whole world to know. The circle of Jupiter has been contracted by them in Japan! And the Dutch-controlled Ganymede can really flow oil, and among the 12 second-class satellites (note (1)), this one is the most valuable, and the devils are not coveting this piece of fat for a day or two. ”

Taking out the binoculars and looking at the comparison of the combat power of the two sides of the confrontation, Zhao Jian felt that if these Dutch had no foreign aid. I really have to be driven back by the devil. Their warships were all small ships of the light cruiser and destroyer classes, and the total number of them was less than 10, and the Japanese were not only more than three times their number, but also had a capital ship in charge.

From that iconic 4-seat triple mounted main gun. People can recognize her identity at a glance - the battleship Kii.

This super battleship, which was secretly assembled by Japan, was extremely eye-catching in the Tang-Japanese War. A total of one battleship, one battlecruiser, and four others were heavily damaged. And the damage suffered by himself is very light. Her proud achievements have earned her the reputation of "the world's strongest battleship" among the Japanese people.

At this time, less than 4 months had passed since the end of the Sino-Japanese War, and most of the capital ships of the IJN were lying in the shipyard for repairs, and the battleships were in relatively good condition, that is, Kii and Nagato.

"Interesting! Japan's poor strategic thinking aside, the battleship's single-ship performance is indeed good. I don't know how many erosion torpedoes she can take......"

Like a voyeuristic beauty, Zhao Jian held a telescope, up and down, left and right, and looked at the entire Kii, and the mouth of the telescope was smiling! King Kong on the side gave him an unhappy look, and couldn't help but think of some unbearable "past", while a certain witch felt a chill for no reason, and looked left and right suspiciously.

"Young Master, what should we do now? Do you want to go around and approach the stargate from the other side, or do you want to stay here and watch the excitement for a while? ”

"Look at the hair! Young master, I am hundreds of thousands of dollars per second, how can I have time to squat here!? Notify the ships to move forward! ”

"Isn't it, young master? Rush over? ”

"Rush your sister! Isn't there a place for up and down, left and right? The devils are looking for trouble with the Dutch, and we're scared of what's going on!? ”

"Oh!"

Soon the two fleets in the confrontation suddenly sounded a burst of Chinese on the public radio channel. This sudden movement almost frightened the nervous Dutch communications soldier on the Dutch flagship Druiter light cruiser to throw the headset out, and after listening carefully, his expression suddenly changed to crying and laughing.

"What are those Tang people yelling about?"

"They're saying, 'Borrow, hurry,' sir!"

“……”

Zhao Jian's fleet was like a nervous office worker, carrying a briefcase and a hippie smile as he crossed between the two gangsters who were about to open the film. The Japanese and Dutch shipwives and sailors watched as if they had been petrified, stunned as they flew over their heads.

And with Zhao Jian taking the lead, the other hesitant merchant ships also followed, and the entire team instantly and automatically gathered into a mighty army, and the river was bustling towards the Star Gate.

Note (1): Galileo is a first-class habitable moon, smaller than these four, but it also has a field wall and is a second-class, with a total of 12 planets in Jupiter's circle, including Ganymede, all of which have increased in size. (To be continued......)

PS: Before the start of World War II, the Dutch Navy had the strength to rank sixth in Europe, but it was by IJN very badly!
