In the galloping Honolulu cabin, Li Mo's eyes straightened when he looked at the military map spread out on the table, although he had made up a lot of military and command knowledge after returning to this era, but he had never attended a regular military academy for a day in his previous life, so these large and small symbols and dense arrows still made him a little dizzy.

Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, he can carefully ponder not to be laughed at by his generals, and he has the advantage of a variety of concepts and a grasp of the pace of development of the times, and he is really not an expert in fighting.

The previous battles were mostly sneak attacks, and as for the battle of Siberia, it was entirely because of the huge gap between the inferior combat effectiveness of the old Mai and Russian ** teams in front of advanced equipment, which led to the avalanche of the latter.

Now it's different, Europe has come up with a lot of power, and famous generals from all walks of life have appeared on the stage, this is already a war with no way out, and in this case, don't expect a situation like Russia's defeat.

Every inch of land will be soaked in blood!

The superiority of equipment is not invincible, in fact, its own appearance and the technology of the Chinese army have made all kinds of science and technology have reached a critical point, even according to history, at the end of 1917, European aircraft engines also exceeded 460 horsepower, and aircraft carriers also appeared in rudiments.

From the current point of view, if the United States enters the war, it must also participate in the war, and a quick victory is unlikely for everyone, because the territory and distance are placed here, so the war is very likely to continue to be fought for four to five years, technology can indeed help itself to occupy the initial strategic advantage, but if you want to maintain the advantage, if you want to continue to defeat the opponent after narrowing the gap in the opponent's target, you need to rely on the soldiers to accumulate little by little, and finally crush the psychological defense line.

Britain and the United States increased their troops in the Far East and India, and increased the formation of local puppet armies to defend themselves, showing that they did not realize the tragedy of the war in Europe, and in fact, in this world, only he and Chen Ping, who were influenced by him, were making plans and preparing for a long war.

According to intelligence, Britain and the United States have formed about one million puppet armies in the southeast peninsula, India and Australia, and their productivity determines that once the war breaks out, it may be doubled, although the puppet armies of India and Vietnam have limited combat effectiveness, but hundreds of thousands of white Australian troops are not easy to fight, and the performance of Australian soldiers in World War I and World War II is remarkable.

This does not include the United States, a country with a population of nearly 100 million, it is easy to arm an army of several million, so once the war starts, China will face an encirclement of about four to five million!

The numbers are very scary, but these are basically on the periphery, except for the southeast peninsula and India, the big threat is the army from Australia, as for the US Army, no matter how many people there are, it will not be able to threaten the Chinese mainland, so the most important thing is still the navy, blocking the sea route will become the key to the war. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

The key to Europe was the Western Front, and he was not a military scientist to comment on the perfection of the Schlieffen Plan, but he always believed that Moltke Jr. was not capable of becoming Chief of the General Staff compared to other German generals.

The main reason why he sold tanks to Germany and reminded Moltke not to reduce the strength of the Western Front was the main reason why he sold tanks to Germany and reminded Moltke not to reduce the strength of the Western Front, whether it would have an effect, but after a hundred years of industrial revolution, Europe was barren, and there was no blood transfusion from foreign colonies, as long as more blood was strangled, let alone a few years, Europe would not be able to recover for decades!

In order to let Germany learn to use the mini A7V tank, he even agreed to let Sun Jiugong and several armored soldiers stay in Germany for the time being, but this is also the only military force in Europe for China.

Not interfering in the European land war for the time being is the benchmark set by himself, although China is also facing multi-front operations, but the real opponent is only the United States!

Li Mo's fingers extended eastward along Hawaii, the huge territory, rich resources, and the lack of a strong regime around it to support are all unique advantages of the United States and problems that he urgently needs to solve, the combat effectiveness of the Colombian army cannot be counted on, and the Mexican scrap wood, maybe they can do the icing on the cake after they have the advantage, but it will definitely become a tragedy to rely on them at the beginning.

Li Mo rubbed his swollen temples, war may be a huge project in the world for him, and he must be carefully calculated and make sure that every part is working properly, so he will rush to Ryukyu at this later moment.

"Your Majesty, Dayang 15 and 16 are back."

Du Dazhuang's report made Li Mo raise his head and fly to the deck, only to see Chen Ping holding a telescope, looking at the two modified ro-ro wheels that had just returned from Germany in front of the Honolulu.

Following the two freighters, the Honolulu docked, and as soon as Li Mo and Chen Ping stepped off the warship, they got into jeeps and hurried to the shipyard.

The first thing to see is the shipyard outfitting area, there are four docks, the rails connecting the docks can make the heavy equipment arrive by small trains, and eight outfitting operations can be carried out at the same time, and now it is crowded with large and small warships, and the eye-catching thing is that the two Hebei-class battleships that have just finished a sea trial and returned to the shipyard for commissioning, this kind of debugging generally takes several times, and a sea trial in non-war time basically takes about a year.

In addition to the two Hebei-class, the big ones on the dock are the two battleships built for the Chilean Navy that are about to be delivered, which is also the main reason why Li Mo came to Ryukyu this time, to attend the delivery ceremony.

The Ocean 15 was the first to approach the pier in the outfitting area, and as the modified top hatch opened, the thick 380 mm gun barrels were lifted out of the cabin and carefully placed on the flat locomotive padded with cork.

Seeing this scene, the corners of both of them crooked.

This is the third batch of jointly developed gun barrels, which have just been shipped back from Germany, and the latter batch, totaling as many as 30 barrels.

Li Mo has always pursued the doctrine of taking, after learning that the 406 mm naval gun was blocked, he immediately joined forces with Germany to engage in 380 mm naval guns, because Germany was also preparing to build a strong Bavarian class at that time, joint research and development can not only integrate the technology of the two countries, but also greatly reduce the risk and cost of development, and after the purchase volume goes up, the unit price of naval guns can also drop a lot, so immediately agreed.

It is precisely because of the efforts of naval artillery experts of the two countries that this naval gun appeared more than a year earlier than history, allowing the progress of the German Bavaria-class battleships to catch up with the British.

It was only because Hua thought that the 50 times the diameter of the whole body sleeve should be directly carried out, and although Germany also agreed, the manufacturing equipment could not keep up, especially the length of the large vertical heating tower used for sleeve processing was insufficient, and it had to be reduced to 47 times the diameter.

In the era of rifled guns, the longer the barrel, the more powerful the naval gun, but the equipment didn't keep up with Li Mo, so he had to accept the monster of 47 times the caliber.

If the battleship is complicated to manufacture, it is undoubtedly the barrel of the gun, from the selection of materials to the final molding, dozens of processes are required, the 410 mm naval gun of the Japanese Nagato-class battleship and the warship started work together, it took three years and almost delayed, it can be seen that the production cycle of naval guns is long, the technology is complex, and it is definitely the top processing technology in this era.

Under Li Mo's Jinyuan offensive, Hua has established a large-caliber naval gun manufacturing capacity that is several times stronger than that of Japan at the same time, and it is not worse than Europe and the United States in terms of technology, and even better in life and accuracy, but 380 mm is not the direction of Hua's main attack, and if the impact of some armor-piercing shells and shells is not very great, then it is not economically cost-effective to build 380 mm when tackling 406 mm, so it was decided to simply purchase all from Germany.

Germany's manufacturing capacity is worthy of being the top, the muzzle kinetic energy of the L47 type / 380 mm naval gun is one and two times that of the same caliber in the United Kingdom, without the use of electroslag refining and chrome plating technology, the life of the body tube still reaches 220 rounds, and the accuracy is also very high, which basically meets the needs of Li Mo's generation of fast battleships, so he ordered 90 in one go, the reason why there are so many is because Hua uses a triple assembly, six ships need 54, and the rest are spare barrels.

After the outfitting area, there is the factory area, which has both large semi-enclosed slipways and ordinary open-air docks, which are now filled with various steel skeletons, and more than 5,000 workers are busy day and night.

Originally, Li Mo wanted to go inside to see the two second-generation fast battleships built here that were about to be launched for sea trials, but before he left, Chen Ping suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes, and saw a convoy driving into the outfitting area.

"Great Lee, I'm so glad to see you!"

Seeing Li Mo, the big Hu Simmons immediately ran over, and Li Mo directly welcomed him with a hug, so that the Chilean naval officers behind him understood why Simmons has been able to rise to the top over the years, until now he is in control of the navy.

After the two exchanged a few words, Simmons was also attracted by the naval gun being hoisted in front of him, looked at the thick barrel, and couldn't help but smack his lips and exclaimed: "Dear Li, are you going to load it on the warship?" ”

"Yes, 15 inches!" Li Mo laughed, putting on a very proud look, at this moment he didn't care that people knew that he was going to build a battleship with 380 mm naval guns, and said with a smile: "I don't like to be pointed at the head by big naval guns!" ”

This sentence made Simmons hang a few black lines on his forehead, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart, although Li Mo just welcomed him with a warm hug, but after all, he is no longer the child hiding in Honolulu twenty years ago, and now he is a huge emperor who can influence the world.

So there is only such a person who dares to say that he does not like to be pointed at the head by a big ship gun!

Although he is also very enthusiastic about this kind of naval artillery, the gap between Chile and China is too big to play the crazy money-burning game that spreads from Europe.

However, shortly after his gaze was withdrawn from the gun, his eyes suddenly widened again, as he saw a unique flat-decked ship with only a small island on the upper deck slowly sailing into the dock in the distance.

"Lee, what's that?"

Following Simmons's fingers, Li Mo and Chen Ping's faces also changed slightly at the same time, why did it come back?
