June 20, 1941, Wuhan, Navy Mooring

Since the establishment of the Union Navy, I am afraid that there has not been such a rapid mobilization, in just a few days, a small small team from Vladivostok all the way to Wuhan, there is no way, Comrade Iron and Steel specially assigned political tasks, where dare to take it lightly, a careless is the rhythm of lining up to be shot.

What's even more infuriating is the Huaxia Navy, don't these bastards know to be a little reserved? actually drove that warship out to fight, and during this time, he also experienced a small-scale warship bombardment and air ship battle, and the commander of the alliance fleet almost had a heart attack after learning the news.

Although an agreement was reached with the Japanese side early in the morning, after the devastating bombing of Tokyo, the coalition squadron was brutally intercepted by the Japanese side several times in succession, and in the end, it was the coalition air force in Vladivostok that sent more than a dozen TB-3 bombers to Tokyo to go around Tokyo before the angry combined fleet finally stopped.

So far, the fires have spread to 80% of the city, with more than 3 million people affected and nearly 800,000 people directly dead and missing.

Not only in the urban area of Tokyo, but also on the Bald Eagle cruise ship, plus the storage in the port area, there are 100,000 tons of fuel oil and fuel products alone, and such a volume of crude oil swells along the high tide and invades 20-30 kilometers inland, not only can not be stopped, but also cannot be extinguished, causing fires in the entire northern area of Tokyo Bay.

In this case, many troops have lost contact with their superiors, and they will go out of the way if they don't go berserk. Moreover, the Japanese Navy also had some wonderful caution when all the troops of the army stationed on the mainland were contained by the fire, and it was normal for them to make some mysterious operations.

"Chen, you see, this is the most advanced and powerful cruiser of the alliance - the 'Red Caucasus'!" Admiral Pyridov, commander of the alliance's Pacific Fleet, held Commander Chen of the Huaxia Navy in one hand and pointed to a large warship behind him with the other.

Because what they are telling is indeed the truth, although it is an old cruiser in 1915, it is also a rare capital ship for the Union Navy that currently has only three or two kittens, and if it were not for the Japanese Combined Fleet jumping too fiercely, this warship would not have appeared in Asia at all.

"It's really advanced, it's an eye-opener!" Commander Chen reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said, everything, it depends on what angle you look at, this thing is estimated to be not even third-rate in time, not to mention the British Bald Eagle, it is estimated that even the noodle country may not be able to take a fancy to this thing, but this thing is indeed newer than the Zhongshan ship in their hands, one was launched in 1900, and the other was launched in 1915. It is more than enough to be the flagship of the Chinese Navy.

The only thing that makes people feel aggrieved is that this exchange is not Commander Chen's original intention, and it is the Zhongshan ship that was replaced, which is indeed a thing that hurts their feelings, but Commander Chen is also very puzzled, using the red Caucasus to exchange for the Zhongshan ship, this is not the style of the iron comrade?

Naturally, he didn't know that Li Yunlong's hook-up with the Air Marshal had stimulated Comrade Iron and Steel at the same time, and at the same time, he had a miscalculation, he couldn't be afraid, a Kwantung Army was enough to make people worry, in case of anything else, I was afraid that the alliance's half-life would be gone, if it weren't for the too great symbolism of the Aurora, he wouldn't even want to offend the Nationalist Government, especially when he was preparing for the war against Hans.

Many opinions in later generations were that Hans had chosen the wrong ally, but the actual situation was that if there was no strong reinforcement from the Kwantung Army, perhaps Comrade Iron would have taken action against Hans in advance, and in the European situation at that time, it was really difficult to say who was more aggressive between Hans and the alliance.

"Chen, I brought you all the spare parts I could find, including spare barrels and ammunition, and a full boat, how about it, is it interesting?" Admiral Spiridorov pointed to a rusty transport ship behind the warship and said, in fact, it was the luck of the Chinese Navy, the Red Caucasus received an order before it could be handed over after coming to Vladivostok, otherwise, he would never have moved things out of the warehouse, you know, in order to prevent the attack of the combined fleet, their spare parts depot is a full hundred kilometers away from the military port.

"According to the agreement reached between the two sides, our country will pay you rubles in the future." Commander Chen was a little painful, two thousand tons of spare parts and ammunition are actually not much, but the problem is that this thing is expensive, expensive to die, to buy a batch of Tsarist stocks at the regular price, I don't know what the high-level thinks, I really think that Hans's ruble loan does not have to be repaid?

Well, it seems that it is an exchange of currency, but it is also good money, with that money, it is good to go to Central Asia and Mongolia to buy some horses and come back, don't talk about it in his heart, Commander Chen himself feels that the role of the navy at present is really not as big as the army.

"Chen, the accessories for the 1913 130mm cannon are really not easy to find." Admiral Spiridov's words are really not nonsense, in fact, there are very few companies in the world that use this artillery except the Union, and they are all captured.

"Our warships are mainly used to cover the operations of ground forces, and 152mm high-explosive shells are obviously more advantageous." Commander Chen said with some nostalgia that some time ago they used the Zhongshan ship to attack Jiujiang, and the so-called batteries that the devils hastily built along the river were simply vulnerable in the face of 152mm heavy artillery, although the army did not enter the urban area of Jiujiang, but the navy really shelled the urban area

"152mm shells are more expensive and difficult to process, or 130mm shells are more economical." Admiral Spiridorov said that he believed it all, but he certainly did not know that the B13 naval gun shells Wang Yue wanted as many as he wanted, and the 152mm shells on the Aurora were really not easy to handle.

"General, let's hurry up and hand over, after all, you still have to hurry back to Vladivostok." Commander Chen suddenly said that because the news of the appearance of submarines in Tokyo Bay had spread, the Combined Fleet was now convinced that the submarines belonged to the Alliance, and had sent people to block Vladivostok.
