Bohai Strait. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

The light cruiser Huanghe slowly crashed into the Bohai Sea, known as the heart of the Far East in Europe, and when the soldiers sounded their whistles to vent their first return after the start of the war, they were greeted by the heavy aircraft carrier Nanchu, which had been wounded in the Battle of Bermuda and had returned for sea trials.

Even if the first sea trial after the repair did not give the carrier-based aircraft, the wide deck and majestic posture of the ship still gave people a shock, especially when they thought of the fact that it and its partners destroyed the combined fleet that had exhausted the national strength of the Entente in one fell swoop with very few casualties in that epic naval battle, and the smell of fierceness and iron blood from the battlefield instantly came to the face.

Looking at the Nanchu passing by, Foch standing on the deck couldn't wait to rush over and snatch it home, and even the light cruiser under his feet, which was said to be able to reach a high speed of 30 knots and was full of gun barrels, he wanted to pack it and take it away.

Because compared to the French Navy, which has been destroyed now, and only a few broken cruisers moored in Marseille dare not leave the harbor to support the scene, these big guys are really too damaging!

What's more, only those in power know the difference between China's first-line warships and Europe's, not to mention the seemingly simple but actually complex aircraft carriers.

As the Nanchu gradually moved away, Foch repeatedly felt that he was back in Marseille decades ago, only to see that the bay was full of small ships with a displacement of about 1,000 tons, and the closer he got to its destination, the more he had this illusion.

China does not have a 10,000-ton civilian ship launch? Joke! Now that the sea is full of dragon flags, can a country that can build a battleship like the Taiwan class not build a 10,000-ton ship? Although there is no specific figure for the total tonnage, one thing is certain: China's current maritime shipping capacity is definitely greater than that of Britain, the United States and France after the war.

But why can't you see a large ocean-going freighter in this heartland?

Foch sighed, turned his head and smiled miserably at Poincaré next to him: "Maybe ......" We only need to hold out for half a year. "As the commander of the French army, he can see through the hidden meaning behind this scene at a glance. There is no doubt that Hua's resources and transportation capacity have been squeezed to the limit after continuous long-distance operations, and this steel wire is very dangerous and may break one day! Therefore, Li Mo is not as easy to deal with the war as the outside world has shown, this country has not experienced the baptism of industrial grass life in the end, even if he is powerful, it is only about 20 years of development, and they can sweep thousands of armies like a bamboo, most of which is due to technological advancement.

Therefore, the strategy of using the vast territory of the United States to consume China formulated by the Entente was very targeted, but it could not find a way to contain the enemy's superior equipment, especially air power, which led to a complete collapse.

To the surprise of the guards, Poincaré did not agree with General Foch's words this time, and stared blankly at the huge harbor that appeared in front of him, without saying a word. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

Following his gaze, everyone saw several sword-like deep-water docks jutting into the bay, all kinds of cranes on the docks swinging back and forth, and workers were constantly loading goods onto trucks and transferring them to various places.

In the distance, the tall chimneys of Rulin were billowing black smoke, and the roar of the crotch was faintly heard along the sea breeze.

"Maybe we're missing something!"

Poincarer muttered in a voice that only he could hear, although he had long heard about the Beijing Incident (Li Mo marched into Beijing and slaughtered all the Manchu nobles in one night, which was called the Beijing Incident by Europe and the United States) and after the founding of the country, Hua embarked on a lane under the leadership of Li Mo, but the Far East was too far away after all, and after Hua expelled all the colonists by iron-blooded means, the image of Europe to the East before the war was still full of long shirts and horse coats. The age of rat tail braids.

And now when I see the busy picture of Tianjin Port, I finally understand why France lost this war.

It's not industrial capacity, it's not a technology gap, it's not human resources.

Rather, the arrogance and arrogance of white Europeans!

While the whites hailed and occupied the world, when Europe colonized the nations through sea ships, brought with them vast quantities of goods and opium, plundered tons of gold and silver with cannons, and then enjoyed the lauded twenty years of good times, they quietly ignored the pace of development in the rest of the world.

While the French were enjoying the bōerdo wine, Li Mo was painstakingly researching the technology.

While Britain was building battleships in an attempt to crush the world's navies, Li Mo was developing aircraft carriers and aircraft!

While the United States was immersed in the world's strong economic countries and cheered for the coming of the American century, Li Mo lay on the map and carefully studied the weaknesses of his opponents!

Is it wronged?

In Europe, everyone will feel that it is a shame or an accident to be defeated by China. But only when you come here in person can you understand that by chance, it is only a small probability.

At this moment, Poincaré thought of the famous saying of the "China" country of the year.

"Tianxingjian, you will continue to strive for self-improvement!"

The cruiser finally approached the special pier that had already been opened up and lost contact with the outside world for ten days, and Poincaré and Foch, who had stepped off the cruiser in a trance, immediately saw the ambassador to China who had come to greet him, and when they saw him come with a pale face, a bad feeling rose in their hearts at the same time.

"Two, France stopped breathing!"

The Orkney Islands at the northern tip of Scotland have a semi-enclosed sea called Scarpa Bay!

If Portsmouth is the cradle of the British Navy, then Scapa Bay is like a sentry that never closes its eyes, guarding the three northern lanes of England.

After a hundred years of maritime power, no country has understood the sea in such a way as Britain, and everyone here knows that Great Britain has three important maritime lines that must not be lost.

Gibraltar, Cape Verde and Scapa Bay!

They represent three important maritime lines of defense in the southeast, north and south.

Now Gibraltar has been overshadowed by the Chinese Seventh Fleet, Cape Verde was destroyed by Chinese artillery bombardment and then occupied by the Germans, and Scapa Bay has become the northern defense line that Nelson's grandchildren need to defend.

In the bay, more than a dozen capital ships were moored, and the majesty of the Grand Fleet at the beginning of the war had become a memory, and the size of the British fleet was reduced to less than 30% after successive defeats.

The last two Hood-class battlecruisers are undoubtedly the last two Hood-class battlecruisers, and next to them are the two prestige-class battleships and the two Avenger battleships that escaped from the United States and survived.

Inside, there were three Orion-class, two Iron Duke-class battleships, and the symbolic Dreadnought-class battleship, and on the outside, near the waterway, there were two huge figures, which were the only two remaining Tiger-class battlecruisers.

After Jutland, the British Admiralty successively proposed a full G3 and N3 class battleship plan, but to this day, the G3 class battleship still has only two keels, and in the case of material shortage, it is no longer possible to continue construction, and it is still facing the end of being dismantled.

The proudly St. George's flag has been gradually lowered with one defeat after another.

In order to make up for the loss of capital ships, after Jutland, knowing that it could not build multiple capital ships, Britain concentrated on building a large number of small-tonnage destroyers.

Corporal Buzz sat quietly on the stone pier of the mooring line, looking down at the turquoise waters, his thoughts already flying to his hometown in Wales.

He was thinking about his newly married wife and his unborn child.

Like him, the docks and decks were full of sit-and-silent sailors, and at some point the base, which was so noisy every day, suddenly became silent and dreary, and everyone lost interest in talking except for the daily routine work, as if it had become a series of sculptures surrounded by cold steel.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps tore through the dullness.

Buzz looked up and looked at the footsteps, only to see Jill, also from Wales, pinching something hard and rushing towards the headquarters building.

Jill ran wildly, ignoring the surprised gaze that looked at him, until he saw Buzz slow down a little and shrug his shoulders.

Years of friendship made it clear to the two of them what the other wanted to say without words, and when Jill shrugged his shoulders with a miserable smile on his face, Buzz suddenly rose to his feet.

Here it comes!

As a veteran who had survived the Battle of Jutland, even if Gil didn't have these small movements, he could feel the smell of nervousness, haste, and gunsmoke.

Damn Germanic landlubbers, finally can't help but come out again!

Moments later, the screeching sirens sounded from all over the base, and countless sailors began to rush to their posts, and wires, drinking water, and the few cans of beef were loaded onto the battleship at a rapid pace.

Buzz rushed to the Hood-class III ship Anson, and quickly climbed the escalator to the observation post platform high on the left side of the bridge.

The machine gunners, who arrived one step earlier on the platform, have already begun to check the twin 77 fixed on the rack

Millimeter Lewis anti-aircraft machine gun, nodded after seeing Buzz, still did not speak.

When Buzz removed his helmet and binoculars from the dark compartment, he saw Vice Admiral Hamilton, the First Sea Lord, now commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet, accompanied by a dozen staff officers and officers, aboard the deck of the sister ship Rodney.

He began to heat up behind him, and when he turned his head, he saw that black smoke was already coming out of the chimney, and as time passed, the black smoke began to thicken and thicken until it blocked the entire sky.

In just 30 minutes, the old capital ships of the British Home Fleet, the remodeled mothership and as many as 37 destroyers stationed in Scapa Gulf, were all ready.

At five o'clock in the evening of May 7, as the sun was gradually setting, the Drooney raised a flag with the letters familiar to all.

There is no more after the Z word! @。
