Doesn't 803 feel abnormal?
June 17, Panama Canal. (Full text reading, all in. (.i. Want. Wen. Learning Network)
With the sound of hydraulic motors, the latter locks slowly opened, and the Colombian naval flotilla, consisting of the 15,200-ton battleship Jose Miguel Pey (formerly the Russian Alexander III) and the 13,300-ton Jorge Ta de Olozano (formerly the Grombowie), as well as three cruisers, finally crossed the Panama Canal for the first time with the Colombian flag flying high.
Inside the bridge, Vice Admiral of the Colombian Navy, Captain Casillas, who had witnessed the sinking of the MedellΓn by the "despicable sneak attack" of the United States outside the port of Buenatoura, was full of spirit, who would have thought that the Colombian Navy, which lost Panama more than ten years ago and bought battleships but was confined to the Pacific Ocean, would have such a beautiful scenery today.
Although it is still Hua who controls the canal, what does it matter? Panama has returned to the bosom of the Motherland, and the whole republic is cheering!
"General, we're here."
In the shouts of the adjutant, Casillas led the fleet out of the canal and finally arrived at the fortress of San Lorenzo, when the dense mast forest appeared in front of him, his smug energy disappeared in an instant, looking at the capital ship of the Chinese Navy with hideous barrels, all the Colombian soldiers were full of envy.
Powerful, too powerful!
Just one Guam-class, the displacement exceeds the entire Colombian fleet, not to mention that now it is in full swing, only Hua has mastered all the technology of aircraft carriers, look at those planes, small ship islands, dense gun barrels on both sides, and wide deck ......, etc., what are you doing on the deck?
Vice Admiral Casillas, who was observing the aircraft carrier, suddenly found that a large number of Chinese sailors were huddled on the deck of the aircraft carrier with laughter and laughter, and a trace of smoke ...... actually rose between them! Fuck, they're holding a barbecue lunch on deck!
Take a look, take a look!
Casillas drooled and drooled, what is the Navy? What does it mean to be a strong country? What is a hegemon? This is! "Deck barbecue dinner...... why didn't I think of this trick?" Captain Casillas decided that he would have to find an open space on his battleship to hold a barbecue when he was free.
While the Colombian soldiers were stunned and watched the laughter and laughter of the people eating a big meal, several ocean-going tugboats appeared in front of them waving signal flags, and with their help and guidance, the two battleships slowly approached the deep-water berth of the first building.
"General Gore, welcome!"
"Lin, I didn't expect you to be here, great!"
Casillas was admiring the majestic fleet around him, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, and turned his head to see that it was Colonel Lin Xiang of the Royal Navy Training Department of the Chinese Empire, who was sent to Colombia to help train sailors and officers. γ I want: super fast update γ
Since most of the officers and sailors in the Colombian Navy were trained by Lin Xiang and several other instructors, they naturally had a lively time after meeting, especially after hearing that Lin Xiang had already served as a training officer of the Chinese Fifth Fleet, he was a lot warmer.
"Lin ......, is that a battleship with North Korea?"
Pointing to the two American Nevada-class battleships that had been destroyed in the sand of Panama Bay and had been repaired next to him, Casillas had fire in his nose and 10 L50/356 mm naval guns, which was really eye-catching.
Lin Xiang smiled, he didn't know what he was thinking, and deliberately pointed to the two Spanish-class battleships in the distance that were ready to be delivered to Cuba, and said with a smile: "Those are the two Spanish-class battleships that have just been repaired, but they don't belong to us anymore, they belong to the Cuban Navy." β
"Cuban Navy!"
"Yes, their people have arrived yesterday, it just so happens that our training department is helping with training, I will take you to visit in a while, although the tonnage is a little smaller, but the naval guns are ......." Casillas didn't hear Lin Xiang's words at all.
Since the recovery of Panama, Colombia has established the status of a South American power in one fell swoop, but it is really unable to take advantage of the navy, not to mention compared with the top three in South America, only neighboring Peru has now changed its guns, and after the sinking of the Medellin, the Peruvian Navy has one more capital ship than itself! Now that I have heard that Cuba has also accepted two almost complete Spaniard-class ships, does this not mean that Colombia is going to lag behind again? Will this affect the alliance with China? No, it must be sent to the country immediately!
Thinking of this, Casillas pretended to be indifferent and looked at it casually, then asked with a shy belly: "Lin, I heard that you have captured some capital ships in the Indian Ocean, including 2 Prestige-class battlecruisers and 2 Avenger-class battleships, I don't know ....... β
"General, you are really well-informed, but these 4 ships are seriously damaged! On the contrary, 2 French Brittany-class battleships and 1 American Northampton-class heavy cruiser are in better condition, especially the latter, 8 381mm guns, which is very good! Lin Xiang pretended to be mysterious, and when he got closer, he lowered his voice and whispered: "Now it is being repaired at the Honolulu shipyard, a friend of mine works in the shipyard, according to him, the equipment is very good, and there is no major damage to the ship's guns and weapon systems, and it will be repaired in another 20 days, but the representative of the Peruvian Navy has been there recently, but I heard that the price has not been negotiated ......." β
"Oh? It's true! β
Casillas' heart was beating nonstop, originally he wanted to test whether the prestige level and the Avenger class could be obtained, but since Lin Xiang said that the damage was serious, whether it was true or not, at least it meant that Hua had no possibility of selling it for the time being, and when he was feeling unhappy, he didn't expect a Northampton-class heavy cruiser to suddenly pop out.
Northampton!
That's 8 381mm super heavy guns, and even today it's still the capital ship of the U.S. Navy! If only Colombia could get it.......
"But when I met Admiral Ivan of the Peruvian Navy before, he said that the Peruvian government has decided to raise the price, and it will be decided at the beginning of next month." Lin Xiang pretended not to see Casillas who was dancing with his eyebrows, and continued to seduce and say.
"...... next month!" Casillas raised an eyebrow and quickly glanced at the adjutant next to him, who immediately ran back to the cabin and received a large bag.
"Lin, I know you also like to drink coffee, this is a good coffee in my country, and I personally selected it."
"Really? Thank you so much, General, then you're welcome....... β
"You're welcome? If you're polite, I'm going to be angry, haha....... Casillas laughed excitedly, sure enough, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and they will immediately send a report to the country when they meet, and they must find a way to get this Northampton-class ship no matter what, even if they can't get it, they can't let Peru get it easily. Because if Peru continues to grow, it will seriously threaten the security and stability of South America, and as a good ally of the great Chinese empire in South America, Colombia must shoulder the responsibility of helping to ensure the stability of South America!
Lin Xiang didn't know that the task of quietly selling second-hand ships to him had already hooked Casillas's heart, and he actually had the cheekiness to position Colombia as an ally of Huahao, and was ready to assume the "big responsibility" of helping China stabilize South America.
The group laughed heartily and walked towards the temporary headquarters of the Fifth Task Force of the fortress, according to the agreement reached by several countries, General Hua led and commanded the multinational joint task force formed with the Fifth Fleet as the team, so Casillas must go to the headquarters to report after arriving.
But as he walked past the two Spanish-class battleships with fire in his eyes, the cat was beside the mighty battleship, and a beggar-like sailing ship flying the German flag almost knocked him headlong.
"Mary is above! Lin ......, ...... this? β
"The destroyer Seahawk of the German Navy is our ally."
Celis nodded numbly, just now he almost thought that he was poor in the Combined Fleet, but ...... seeing this German attack, the sailboat! After confirming a few times that it was indeed a sailboat, I finally understood that compared with others, I was indeed the landlord of Dunton beef.
Lin Xiang didn't break it, in fact, when he first went to the Sea Eagle and the Major Lucanal yesterday, he almost fell into the sea, but when Lucanal introduced his combat experience and asked the German Navy for confirmation, he knew what Hua Hengyi was and what a legendary captain was!
Not to mention anything else, just the courage of people who dared to command sailing ships to attack alone after the German Navy in Jutland was pressed in Kiel alone is not something that ordinary people can imagine. So don't talk about him, even Vice Admiral Fang Jin, who is known as the bold, said that both Shi Pei and this Major Lucanal have shown the fighting spirit of the German people and are not afraid of strong enemies, and the Royal Navy of the Chinese Empire, which is accustomed to the superiority of technology and equipment, is a little inferior in this regard, so they are indeed worthy of the respect of the Chinese Navy.
Walking around the bay and taking Jahn to carefully observe the Fifth Task Force of the Chinese Navy, Lucanal didn't know that he was actually despised by the unruly Colombia, but even if he knew that he didn't have the heart to argue at the moment.
"Jahn, did you find anything?"
"Found it!" In order to show his "true identity" as a graduate of the Naval Academy, Yahn gritted his teeth and analyzed: "It's very powerful, especially the aircraft carrier, Major, you see, they are very careful, those places are covered with canvas, I suspect ......." β
"Smack."
Lucanal slapped his forehead and laughed, "Jahn, I didn't ask you to tell me how powerful they are, I mean, didn't you notice something wrong?" β
"Something is wrong? Nope! β
"Okay." Lucanal took a deep breath, shook his head, and finally gave up his dream of training a great knight's follower, pointed to the battleships around him and said, "First, it's too easy, it's not like a big war is about to break out at all, and second! The tone suddenly increased, and the light in his eyes flashed: "There are no powerful battleships!" β
"Powerful battleship?" Still a little confused, Jahn pointed to a Guam-class in the distance and said, "Isn't that?" β
"No, it's not! Although they are all equipped with 9 L45/406 mm heavy guns, if they can't surpass the Guam class, is it necessary to build the Taiwan class? If you think about it, in a decisive battle that determines the outcome of the entire battle, you don't think it's ...... not to send powerful battleships. Lukanal turned his head to look at Jahn and suddenly asked, "Is it abnormal?" β
"It's a little, but didn't the lieutenant just say it? Taiwan-class battleships were in service, had no combat experience, and the hull width was too large for the Panama Canal to pass, so there was no ....... β
"Only madness can understand another madness."
Before Jahn could finish speaking, Lukanal had already interrupted him, and after saying something that no one understood, he immediately walked towards the telegraph war, and at the same time said: "Immediately ask the Admiralty in code where the Chinese fleet that was assembled in Perth is now!" β
