One thousand one hundred and ninety-eight palms everything is ready
Scher's main battleship left Southeast Asia and was covered by the Northwest Fleet. It should not be known to the British in a short period of time, because for a long time, the northwest warships would not be dispatched. At least, before Scher's fleet crossed the Cape of Good Hope, it would not launch an attack on the Philippines.
Asia, which had been chaotic for a whole year, seemed to be in peace at this moment. Their last attack on Chita was destroyed by the wounds of the Far East of Russia in the north. Under the strong defense of Chita and the power of the armored division, China did not take advantage of the victory to pursue the city defense. In the cold Siberia, the possibility of war breaking out was almost zero. Even China could not fight against Russia under the temperature environment of minus 40 degrees, let alone Russia.
Nanfang Lanfang took advantage of the arrival of the East China Sea Fleet's reinforcements and began the last period of rectification before the war began. Even the Indochina Peninsula kept the gunshots and fell into peace. After all, the few loyal to the French were among the few. After a few months, they were almost wiped out. Lanfang continued the tradition of the Chinese and carried out some replacement with the direct help of China, and replaced the original Indochina Peninsula with Chinese people. They could obtain education, learn skills, and even live a better life in China, but they could not stay in the Indochina Peninsula.
No matter how good the policies or the strong integration is, when the trend of national liberation appears decades later, fluctuations will inevitably arise, unless it is like the United States, killing almost all Indians, which is crazy, and it is impossible to do in a relatively enlightened era in the 20th century.
Fortunately, China has a large territory and a large population. The Indochina Peninsula is full of plans, but only 1.7 million people. When these people scattered among the 450 million people in China through various channels, it is really inconspicuous.
Similar practices of mixing sand to dilute the local population. I have been experiencing silently that the natives of the Indochina Peninsula are not as cruel as those of the Indonesian natives. First of all, this is China's own sphere of influence. Many countries on the Indochina Peninsula are vassal states of China, which means they are disinterested in the Qing Dynasty. Many countries have strong Confucian and Chinese traditions, which are different from those of the Indonesian natives and are worthy of use.
In short, we should use both kindness and power, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one hand, one who is disobedient and one who is obedient. However, China's expansion has begun to accelerate since the outbreak of the European war, especially Southeast Asia was taken into control by Lan Fang. It is very difficult for countries to obtain news from the hinterland of Southeast Asia, and they have done a little more relaxed.
The waves on the Indian Ocean are surging, especially when crossing the equator, ocean currents and strong winds make the waves at least 2 meters high. If it were fishing boats, even sailboats of about 0 tons would not be close to here during this period, but for 50,000 tons, it condensed the essence of German warships, plus the achievements of the Northwest in materials and fluid mechanics, let alone 2 meters of waves, so what if it was a little higher, the flying scissors ship directly broke through the huge waves. With enough buoyancy provided to the ship, the 50,000 tons of giant ship passed through the waves and quickly passed through the equator.
In the precise chart and with the help of advanced equipment, Schell quickly determined his position. Although he was slightly tilted southward by 0.5 degrees, he was still within a bearable range. At most, he would arrive at the Cape of Good Hope in 3 days. After that, as long as he was careful not to be seen by British and French ships, they could arrive in Europe smoothly.
Scher's main ship was still in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. When fighting against Julang, Lan Fang was also making final preparations before attacking the Philippines. Next to Jakarta, there were almost three divisions and 75,000 troops used to attack the Philippines in the newly built huge military camp. However, after Scher's main ship was withdrawn, people were constantly concentrated. Now more than 20,000 troops are gradually gathering and reorganizing. Compared with the Battle of the Indochina Peninsula, the Battle of the Philippines has been highly valued from the beginning. Lan Fang will hold a certain number of casualties.
The Philippines must take over. As long as it wins the Philippines, the entire South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca will be connected into one, and even the islands of Indonesia and the Philippines along the coast will become a solid inner circle, which is conducive to the layout of defense lines. At that time, if the United States wants to attack China's mainland, it must conquer islands.
This is not the era of aircraft carriers in World War II. The island-hopping tactics are basically impossible to be implemented. If the entire Southeast Asia strategy is completely removed, it must be one after another. With the strength of the Chinese 6th Army, as long as it has sufficient solid defense, no one can open the defense line of the island. In this way, China located in the 6th will be completely safe and able to attack him, either cross the Himalayas from India, the highest and largest mountain range in the world, and the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. This is a difficult task for the 21st century, or from the north.
However, if the Northwest defeats Japan and takes Siberia into its pocket, the core area will have enough strategic depth and will not be conquered at all. This is very important for the strategic security of China's core area. In any case, the Philippines must be conquered.
The 20,000 army was not sent to the island at the first time, which took time. When all the preparations were almost the same, the support from the East China Sea Fleet was also sent to Jakarta.
On November 27, on the 18th day after Scher's fleet left Southeast Asia, according to radio contact 2 days ago, Scher's main battleship had successfully broken through the Cape of Good Hope. He chose a channel that was not close to 6 places. Even at the farthest time, it was dozens of nautical miles away from Cape of Good Hope, and did not encounter any ships. He just passed the Cape of Good Hope and then went deep into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. This would detour almost 12 to 15 o'clock, but the advantage was safety.
On this day, eight new heavy patrols and shallow water heavy gunboats arrived in Jakarta. The newest heavy patrols were definitely above 27 knots, which was a real fast cruiser. However, only 17 knots shallow water heavy gunboats were not good. When the sea conditions and wind and waves were high, they had to choose a place to shelter from the wind, which greatly delayed time. Even if the distance between Shanghai and Jakarta was not very far, it would have been almost a day.
As the commander-in-chief of the sea attacking the Philippines, Xiao Jianfeng arrived at the port immediately. He was always curious about the so-called shallow water heavy gunboats. As for himself, he did not think that there were only more than 5 ooo tons of warships in this report, which could make up for the gap brought by the main battleship.
First, the new warships entered the port, named city-level heavy patrols, adopted the name of China's provincial capital cities. Aside from the core cities like Nanjing, Beijing, and Baotou, the former core cities are lined up in order by Chenyang, Kaifeng, Jinan, Hangzhou, Wuhan, Xi'an, Taiyuan and Kulun. These are the first batch of named cities. In the future, the construction of this level of heavy patrols will be too lazy to start construction. The provincial capital cities may not be enough, so we have to use the central world to make up.
This heavy patrol main gun is quite powerful. The three double-mounted 254mm new naval guns are designed with four 22o. When it is determined that the aircraft carrier is the core, the heavy patrol plays more the role of protecting the aircraft carrier, and has a separate air defense cruiser. At this level, the design institute carefully considered it and chose to strengthen the artillery. It uses three double-mounted 254mm new turrets to replace the 4 22omm double-mounted turrets. The weight is almost the same, and the layout is more compact. The firepower of the heavy patrol is strong enough and the protection is quite in place.
The 254mm cannon was just developed in September 1914 and looks much lower than the 14-inch cannon of the main battleship. However, in fact, Xiao Jianfeng has long heard of this new cannon. Not only is the attack range and powerful, but if he uses a special armor-piercing shell, it can reach the power of 13.5 or even 14-inch cannon.
After asking the captain, I learned that the range of this cannon was only 10% less than that of the 15-inch cannon, and it was even above the 13.5-inch cannon in 1912. This is a large-caliber artillery, a higher first-and better shell, combined with the power of the shell, which is quite amazing. The only disadvantage is that the 22o mm dual cannon has solved the problem of firing, and can get up to 6 per minute. This is the mainstream 1 minute and four per minute. With the reduction of firing, the 254 mm cannon has excellent armor-piercing performance under the premise of having enough initial level, and can easily penetrate the 15-inch northwest new armor. Except for the main protective belt of the Fantasy and Orion, the new dreadnoughts of other countries, and even Orion, are somewhat irresistible, and the attack performance is already extremely impressive.
Xiao Jianfeng knew the new heavy patrol, which surprised Xiao Jianfeng even more. It was the shallow water heavy gunboat. When he heard this name, Xiao Jianfeng just thought that this might be a small boat. The boat pulled the cannon, just like the Japanese. But when he saw the real thing, he was shocked. The 5ooo tons warship had two double-connected 14-inch cannons. The power of such cannons can no longer be called a question of whether they are powerful or not. It was simply a pervert. He tested the performance of the 14-inch cannon. The performance is good. The new generation of 14 inches is just a little weaker than 15 inches. However, there are too many places to go to a 5ooo tons ship. It is really a genius creativity. It is equivalent to the main ship being used as a ground attack. This is better, saving a lot of resources. To launch a 30,000-ton or even 50,000-ton warship, it requires too many power personnel. On the contrary, the shallow water heavy gunboat is completely consumed by light cruisers. It is simply the best weapon for close-range ground shelling.
A weapon can only have an excellent effect when used in a suitable environment. I think the same is true for shallow water heavy artillery boats. Everything is ready, and it is only a battle with the other party. (To be continued.)
