The Marines were embarrassed when they withdrew from the 100,000 mountains!

Even worse than when the Russian army withdrew from Grozny!

Geng Jingzhong's experience was even more miserable than Shang Zhixin's.

Sniping at his natives, more elite. And with more rifles too!

These people launched night attacks when it was dark, and during the day, they planted mines and fired black guns on the way of the Ming army's advance.

Whether it's an enemy attack or a black gun. They were all small groups of enemies, and sometimes they managed to catch up with the fleeing enemy troops, and the result was only three or two people.

At other times, chasing and chasing, they chased and killed in the enemy's encirclement.

The Ming army relied on sharp weapons, and the rebels relied on familiarity with the terrain.

The place where the rebels brought the Ming army can be called a Jedi.

A whole company of marines was wrapped in dumplings like this.

If it weren't for the rapid support of reinforcements, the whole army might have been wiped out.

In the history of the Ming Marine Corps, no unit has ever been completely annihilated.

Geng Jingzhong almost made history.

The two unlucky guys were very helpless, but they had to report the news of the defeat to Li Xiao.

"The Navy blows all day long, how powerful their marines are, that's all ......!" After reading the battle report, Ao Ye roared and threw the battle report on the table.

"Huh! This kind of battle, even if you are transferred to a division, there is no way.

Fighting jungle guerrilla warfare with these natives, victory is a fluke, and defeat is inevitable. Li Xiao was also very helpless after reading the battle report.

Jungle warfare is not easy to fight, and the first division has a lot of heavy equipment, which belongs to heavy troops, and is not suitable for use in mountainous areas.

"Nonsense! Let us come with one division, and one will sweep away the three provinces for you. Ao Ye waved his hand and said very imposingly.

"Forget it! You can't sweep the level, and it's amazing to be able to drive your troops into the war zone.

Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou, these are all mountainous areas.

Your troops are not to say fighting on such terrain, marching is a problem. Let's stay honest!

The matter of exterminating the rebels is still left to the second division. I believe that playing jungle warfare is still a slippery game for the second division. ”

"Humph!" Ao Ye snorted heavily in his nostrils, expressed his dissatisfaction, and walked towards the sea with his surfboard.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Outside the bay of Sevastopol, several battleships sounded their whistles.

On the sea, a battleship as high as a mountain was moored. This is the newest battleship King David to join the Israeli Navy!

The battleship, with a displacement of 70,000 tons, reached 70,000 tons.

It floated on the surface of the sea, like a steel monster.

The thick barrel of the main gun is black and hollow, and it can accommodate a soldier to cool off inside.

The side chords of the battleship were even more numerous guns. Long and short, formed a crossfire.

This is a moving steel fortress on the sea!

For this steel fortress, the Hebrew plutocracy paid the price of 16 million Daming silver coins to bring back this steel beast.

Today is the day of the King David, and five other destroyers are in the ranks.

The Kingdom of Israel, today it finally has a navy.

Avery Marom was smiling, today was his big day.

Just three days ago, he took up the post of commander of the Israeli Navy.

These steel monsters that are about to enter the ranks are under his command.

"Avery , these ships cost a lot of money to buy them back from the Ming Kingdom.

You have to take the boys to get acquainted with them as soon as possible, I always feel that Da Ming doesn't seem to want to be patient anymore.

They may attack us, and to attack Sevastopol, the army alone will not do.

Next year, more than a dozen warships will be in the ranks, and we will defeat the Ming fleet off the coast of Sevastopol. ”

"Commander, give me three years. I'll take the boys to patrol these ships, and then I'll take them and send the men who made them to the bottom of the sea. ”

Avery Marom spoke with excitement in his words!

The Ming Navy has been rampant in the world for many years, and the tonnage of the world's navy is not as high as the Ming Navy.

A strong navy is the basic guarantee for the Ming Dynasty to run rampant in the world.

Once upon a time, when they looked at the giant battleship of the Ming Dynasty, they were only shocked and envious.

But he didn't expect that he would be able to control such a warship one day.

Such a steel behemoth is invincible, if, according to the plan, two battleships for the next year and the year after will be in the ranks.

Israel has three battleships, which is only two fewer than the Ming Empire, which is proud of the world.

And I heard that the two battleships that the Ming Dynasty was building were preparing for sale.

If those two were also bought, Israel would have as many battleships as the Ming Dynasty.

As a naval officer, Avery Maryom knew all too well the power of battleships.

In front of such a battleship, a destroyer that appeared to be very powerful, was as small as a small sampan.

This steel behemoth is as deep as thirty-eight meters in draft alone. From the bottom of the keel to the top of the main mast, the total height is more than sixty meters.

"Whew!" The King David battleship whistled and pulled Avery Maryom back to reality.

In the midday sun, the King David was slowly docked on the Sevastopol pier.

That is, Sevastopol is a natural deep-water port, otherwise the general wharf really can't accommodate this behemoth.

As soon as the King David came to a stop, a large group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries couldn't wait to board the battleship to have a look.

And the Israeli nationals on the periphery, seeing that the country had such a huge weapon, immediately cheered like a tsunami.

The King David lowered the gangway, and Ben-Gurion was the first to go up.

The ship was not so much made of steel as it was made of silver coins.

If you count the kickbacks given to the wife of the commander of the Ming Navy, the price paid by the Hebrew world for this battleship is a full 20 million Ming silver coins.

Ben Gurion wants to take a good look at what he bought for 20 million silver coins.

Captain Winter stood at the end of the gangway and greeted His Excellency the Minister of Defense warmly.

"Winter, show me the ship. Let's see if those Ming people have taught you to manipulate it.

In order to train you, the Ministry of Defense paid a lot of money to the black-hearted Ming people. ”

Ben Gurion patted Captain Winter on the shoulder.

The King David was sold to Spain by the Ming Dynasty, and it stands to reason that it is only natural that he will help train some technicians.

For this, Israel has been half a year ahead of schedule. He sent someone to Madrid to learn how to control a warship with the Ming Navy.

But Da Ming gave full play to the essence of seeing money, not only rejected the buyer's request, but also claimed that if you love this ship, even if Lao Tzu smashes the pot and sells iron, he will not drink the northwest wind of your house.

There was no way, so I could only follow Daming's requirements and spend a lot of money on training for these people again.

"My lord, please rest assured.

The boys I recruited were all purebred Hebrews.

Each of them was full of fanaticism and longing for the restoration of the nation of Israel.

Also, they are very good sailors.

This is my first mate, Orlang, before he became my first mate. As a captain, he commanded destroyers in the British Navy. ”

Winter said, pointing to a tall, thin man beside him.

Seeing Winter introduce himself to the big leader, Orlang hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Winter was also a former member of the Royal Navy before the founding of Israel, and he was one of the first Hebrews to join Israel.

Because of his bravery in battle, he gradually became a staunch of Ben Gurion.

This time, Ben-Gurion also defied public opinion and put him on the throne of the captain of the battleship King David.

Otherwise, in terms of seniority in the navy, he is not as powerful as the first officer.

"Show me around the ship." It was the first time he had boarded such a large battleship, and Ben-Gurion was curious about everything.

"Of course, Minister, please come here." Orlang saluted the big men again and led the way to the cockpit.

The ship is very large, but the passages in many places are very narrow.

There are a lot of places that can only accommodate the passage of individuals.

After passing through a long and narrow corridor, I suddenly saw a spacious cab and command room, and everyone in the big room felt that their eyes were bright.

"Your Excellency, this is the ship's wheelhouse and command room.

Because of the large size of the battleship, it was able to accommodate more personnel. So, in the Ming Naval Army.

The battleship was used as a flagship, and the command system of the entire fleet was also on the battleship. "Pointing to the command room, and the huge rudder." Orlang introduced to the dignitaries.

It is estimated that he also has 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart!

These people don't understand bullshit, but they have to pretend to know everything!

Orrand said, and they nodded in praise. After many people saw the huge main gun, they decided that the money was not spent in vain.

Big ships and huge guns are the standard of the navy in this era.

So much so that the navies of the world do not yet have the weapons to hunt huge battleships.

And the King of David (in the Ming Dynasty is called the mountain character level. Battleship, and at the same time battleship killer.

Now in the whole world, only battleships can deal with battleships.

In other words, now in the world, only Israel can threaten the Ming in terms of sea power.

"But this main gun, we only did one shot training." Orrand knew that this was an opportunity for the lion to open his mouth, and he was not prepared to let it go.

Especially when Winter and Avery Maryom winked at him, he knew what to do.

Orrand is also a master when it comes to understanding leadership intentions.

"Oh! Why is this the case? How can you do it without training, and how can you beat the Ming people in wartime? "Ben Gurion is an Army, but he also knows the importance of training for an army.

"That's right! We can't produce shells for the main guns of battleships yet. If you want shells, you can only import them from the Ming Kingdom.

And the cannonballs sold to us by the Ming Kingdom are priced at three thousand Ming silver coins per shot. ”

"Three thousand Ming silver coins are ...... in one shot!"

There was a "buzz" and "buzz" sound among the high-ranking officials and dignitaries, although they were all people who had seen money. But ......, this number can still make them feast.

I had only heard that battleships were expensive, but I didn't expect that just one shell was worth three thousand Ming silver coins.

You must know that there are many factories in Sevastopol, and the net profit of a year is not 3,000 Ming silver coins.

This loud bang is the profit of a factory that has been busy for a year.

This price is too ...... It's staggering.

"Three thousand Ming silver coins a ......!" Ben Gurion was also shocked.

"Yes! In other words, a three-shot salvo can almost hit 10,000 Ming silver coins.

Also, many facilities on the ship have to use Daming's spare parts.

And Daming's spare parts are very expensive!

In our spare parts warehouse, there is often a shortage of spare parts.

We all have to ask Daming for these things.

Also, let's say we don't do shooting training. But if we were to train in the sea, we would need a lot of fuel.

The warships, including the King David, were all oil-burning.

And now only Daming sells diesel.

In addition, we need several tankers to transport oil from the Middle East to Sevastopol.

All of this requires a strong budget. ”

As Orrand spoke, Ben-Gurion was thinking in his heart.

It is no wonder that with the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it must be maintained by selling warships. Battleships are not only expensive to build, but also ridiculously expensive to maintain and train.

But these things are still the only thing that scorpions are a part of.

You don't want to buy Daming, but there is no place in the world to sell it.

"It seems that localization is still needed to reduce costs.

Take two shells to the arsenal and make sure they have two months to make a copy of the finished product. Used to ensure the use of the Navy!

As for those spare parts, they can be replaced by domestic production. If it can't be made in China, then you can only continue to buy it from Mingguo.

You can buy more and keep it in the warehouse in case you need it. ”

"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander! The secretary took note of Ben Gurion's words and prepared to inform the Ministry of Industry to complete it as soon as he got off the ship.

"Your Excellency, what is urgently needed now is not shells, but fuel.

Our oil is going to bottom out, and if there is no continuous supply of oil, this ship will be lying on its stomach! ”

Orlang was helpless to resemble Commander Ben Gurion, who was most lacking not shells and accessories, but diesel.

On this voyage back from Spain, not only did the King David run out of diesel, but even the small destroyers had little fuel left.

But this diesel fuel is a treasure in the hands of Da Ming, and it will definitely not be easily sold to a country like Israel, which is not too friendly.

"Oh yes! You also need tankers, and diesel. ”

Ben Gurion shook his head.

In the past, the driving force of everything produced by Daming was coal. But now, I don't know why Daming came up with something called diesel.

I heard that it came from oil springs in the Middle East, and now the demand for oil products is increasing in countries around the world.

Daming made a lot of money in the commodity of diesel.
