Three-five-eight begins

At the entrance of the Suez Canal in the turquoise Mediterranean, a large ocean-going freighter flying the Chinese flag is crowded among the freighters of various countries, waiting to enter the canal and return to Luzon. 【 I want: super fast update 】

This is a large ocean-going freighter purchased from France by the newly established Luzon Nanyang Shipping Company, and the crew members are all from Fujian and Luzon, and they have just shipped more than 4,000 tons of rubber to France, and the return trip is full of railway rails produced in France, so the draft is very deep.

On deck, the sailors enjoyed a rare relaxation, chatting and gossiping together, and two of them could even see their hair in their braids.

"Third brother, what's going on today? It's been a year since this line was run, and I haven't seen a blockade of the shipping lane? The dreadlocked man shouted as he looked at the two British cruisers blocking the canal mouth and stood guard.

"I haven't seen it." The older sailor named Sange also stared at the entrance with wide eyes, you must know that this is the Suez Canal, in order to ensure the safety here, the British have stationed 100,000 troops along the canal, and there is also a fleet stationed, plus there are no pirates nearby, as for those Arab sheikhs, I am afraid they have no strength to threaten the canal at all, so this scene is really rare.

In fact, don't talk about it here, even if it enters the unpredictable Indian Ocean, there are very few pirates who dare to intercept Chinese freighters now, because between Luzon and the Indian Ocean, there are warships patrolling with blood cloud dragon claw flags all year round, so who dares to touch the tiger's whiskers at this time?

It's just that today is indeed a little unusual, you must know that although the British control here, they rarely block the waterway, after all, this is the Suez Canal connecting Eurasia, which is the world's busiest waterway, and blocking this place is equivalent to cutting off the world's financial routes, and even the British do not dare to act arbitrarily.

But why did those British cruisers still hold the mouth of the canal and not let them pass?

The third brother sniffed, took out a Luzon cigarette from his pocket and just stuffed it into his mouth, and suddenly saw a large warship out of the waterway, looking at the flag flying high on the mast, he straightened up violently, opened his mouth wide, and even didn't notice that the cigarette in his mouth fell on the deck.

"Blood Cloud Dragon's Claw Banner"

He is too familiar with this flag, you must know that not long ago he also participated in the construction of the Subic military port, not to mention that now as long as it is a Chinese growing up in the South Seas, no one does not know that flag, it is precisely because of the existence of this flag that no pirates dare to attack freighters at will, and even if they run to Europe, they are no longer all white-eyed.

Everyone knows that this is a banner to protect them, and as long as it is flying high, everyone will not dare to regard the Chinese as third-class citizens of the world

For it, the Nanyang Chinese were willing to donate a huge amount of money to build a comfortable military port for it, and for it, the Nanyang Chinese even built an ancestral hall

Because it is their patron saint and the backbone of this country

Almost instantly, the eyes of all the sailors on deck widened, and some even waved their arms excitedly in salute, and the third brother and everyone felt an electric current flash on their spines

They couldn't describe what it was like to be in the sea where white people used to be in the past. ※※※※※I'm going to have a net ※※※ (5) ※ (1) ※ Ο※ ΝΕΤ※※ Now, I can see the warship of my own country, which can no longer be described as exciting at all.

Cheers, leaps of joy, and in an instant spread from all over the deck, everyone shouted loudly, and the sailors in the distance seemed to hear their call, waving their military caps to greet Changlun

"Level 2 alert."

The greetings of the sailors on the deck did not make Xiao Tianzhi forget his responsibility, from the Sky Survey to the Anhai, not only was it equipped, but even the whole person seemed to have been upgraded by one level, even at this moment, he did not forget his responsibility.

Urged by a burst of alarm bells, the sailors moved into their positions, the turrets began to rotate, the shells were stuffed into the chambers, and the rangefinder on the top of the bridge had locked on the two threatening British cruisers.

However, this did not cause a fierce reaction from the other party, but continued to wave a string of condolence signal flags, which made the third brother, who knew a little bit of naval flag language, wonder, when did the British ship talk so well?

But they understood why the British, who had always been confined to this place, were so eloquent, for several warships had once again emerged from the waterways, and they were clustered with a temporary white cruise ship, one of which was much larger than even the larger freighter.

fleet

Our fleet

It's our fleet

A Chinese fleet that entered the waters of foreigners for the first time

The sailors on the Chang ship were jumping, shouting, and venting, and the corners of some people's eyes were already moist, and what could be more exciting than seeing their fleet in a foreign land?

Li Mo stood high on the deck, looking at the crowded heads on the deck of Changlun in the distance, a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and even Fang Xianqi and Luo Sanniang, who accompanied the visit, couldn't help but laugh happily and waved their hands to salute each other.

This is what he is pursuing, and from the moment he returns to this era, he longs to see the ships of his country in every sea and every corner

Now, under its own influence, the country is slowly raising its head from the loess and focusing on the deep blue ocean, although there is only one here, and it still seems to be alone, but I believe that in the future, there will be more ocean-going fleets flying the Chinese flag across the seas, bringing back wealth at the same time, but also beginning to gradually bring back the sense of distress to the ocean.

This is a great era, an era of change, giant ships and cannons are the characteristics of this era, but only a part of the navy is not enough to support a strong global navy, only to awaken the people's bottom of the ocean consciousness, can become a real maritime power

In the scorching breath, Tang Shaoyi was also a little excited, until the staff around him pulled him and pointed to the sea level in the distance, he calmed down and quickly walked to Li Mo's side.

"Your Majesty, it's a German cruiser"

When the Oriental Princess slowly passed by the Chang ship, a German cruiser had approached at a fast pace, and the two British cruisers seemed to see their rivals, and after showing two white wakes on the sea, they quickly approached and accompanied the visiting fleet on the left side.

Seeing this, the German cruiser also quickly found the right side and went with it.

Looking at this scene, Yan Fu and Tang Shaoyi on the deck couldn't help but smile at each other, the competition for the China has begun, a silent competition has begun, how to fight for great benefits for themselves in this competition, it is the two of them who need to work hard.

And with the opening of this competition, Li Mo's trip to Europe will receive unprecedented attention, and the Chinese will finally land in Europe with a new look, washing away the impression of long braids and opium in the minds of white people.

"The first stop remains the same, continue to the Ottoman Empire." Limmer seemed to turn a blind eye to the British and German cruisers that accompanied him, and under his orders, the Oriental Princess, accompanied by five warships and a supply ship, continued to sail towards Constantinople, once the heart of Europe.

Only the medium-sized passenger ship, full of German naval trainees, continued westward along the Mediterranean, ready to be the first to return home to report on the results of the past three years.

Yan Fu and Tang Shaoyi, on the other hand, quietly got on a steamboat and sailed to the Anglo-German cruiser, bringing the emperor's condolences and thanks, but also to test the attitude of the two countries.

Urumqi is also known as Dihua, after Li Mo ascended the throne, many place names were restored, especially important first-tier cities, and began to move closer to later generations.

This is not a fortified fortress, in fact, in the entire northwest except for a medium-sized fortress in Ili, it would be nice to have a loess wall around the rest of the place.

This is the difference between the northwest and the Central Plains, the Central Plains has many strong cities, and the endless northwest desert is not a lack of materials, not a lack of manpower, but a nomadic way of life since ancient times, so that everyone does not pay much attention to urban construction, until the past hundred years gradually people settled down for a long time, and some small cities appeared.

So when standing behind the bunker of the earthen city, looking at the dense figures moving outside the city, Major Chekov only felt cold.

Blame yourself for all this, why bother the Minister of War with that to talk to that As a result, he was sent to remote Siberia, and not long ago he was sent to this strange land, asking for support and help for those guys with little hats to divide China, weaken and fight the arsonist in the Far East.

As the battalion commander, he led his battalion into Ili early, but before the ass was hot, he was driven here by the later troops, originally this was nothing, and it was more prosperous than Yili, but now he understands why many colleagues are laughing at him when he takes over the task.

Because this is the only gate to enter and exit Ili, at the beginning of the Chinese army's westward expedition, this place will definitely be the first to encounter the enemy, but he was not worried at first, because there are 10,000 "friendly troops" here, and they have successively armed as many as 30,000 or 40,000 militiamen, so he always thought that the Chinese army would meet here and eventually evacuate.

In this way, he will become the star of the entire Russian Empire, and even the Minister of War Kuropatkin will have to compliment him, and even the will be willing to climb into her own bed

But now he knew he was wrong

Two kilometers away, there were forty-eight 105-millimeter army guns, their hideous muzzles glowing with an icy glare in the sun. Behind the artillery, there were teams of Chinese infantry on standby, and in the distance, there were dense cavalry

Even if you don't know the exact number, it looks like there are about 10,000 people from here, and this is only the direction of the main attack in the east, on three sides, there are also a large number of enemy troops, and they have surrounded the whole of Urumqi.

Not to mention him, even the imaginative can't know how the Chinese army brought so many heavy cannons and shells here, could it be that their 20,000 infantry came here?

It wasn't until several large cars drilled from behind the formation to the artillery positions and began to move boxes of shells that Chekov suddenly realized, but he still couldn't believe it, when did the cars become so big?

But before he could figure it out, a series of fire clusters suddenly erupted from the artillery position in the telescope

"Ready"

Chekov shouted violently, but as soon as the words reached his lips, the rumbling sound of cannon was already heard, explosions and flames rose everywhere around him, and in an instant the smoke and dust blinded everyone's eyes.

"Boom."

"Boom."

The whole of Urumqi began to tremble in the blazing flames and raindrops of dense explosions, and countless rebels and Russian soldiers turned into clumps of blood and mud in the blast wave of the explosion that swept like a hurricane before they could even react.

The first major battle after entering Xinjiang finally kicked off with the sound of artillery
