The weapon tycoon who traveled to Daqin

The intention of showing weakness was very clear: to try every means to delay the Allied attack and keep them on the Allied defense line for a long time. Wang Ben submitted his thoughts to the headquarters via telegram.

Wang Jian only replied with one word "wait". He believed that the Allied forces were currently maintaining a certain pressure on the front. Withdrawal would be very detrimental to the Allied forces. Moreover, the Allied forces were only temporarily frustrated. They still maintained a strong combat effectiveness. In other words. The coalition forces still have a certain amount of strength to attack. Li Mu also believes that this situation should be maintained for now instead of deliberately breaking the situation. After all, there are still some situations, especially the allies are not fully prepared yet.

The Allies just want to wait. But this war is Ying Yu. The logistical pressure has greatly increased her pressure. The logistical pressure of supporting a huge army is very high. In normal times, these armed mercenaries can go around to obtain supplies. Certain benefits. But this is a war. It is a large-scale organized military operation. Especially time. Ying Yu has invested more than two million gold in advance. Now more air power has been mobilized, although part of the cost is paid by the government. .But this fee is still very large. The total is about one million gold. And as time goes by, this fee will increase. In short, the longer the time goes, the greater the pressure will be on Ying Yu. Ying Yu hopes to invest End the war quickly.

This pressure was transferred to Shangwen by Yingyu. But Shangwen needed to coordinate with the military. After all, this was a war. Professional skills and military command were sensitive.

High-level officials are discussing how to quickly solve the problem in the Western Region. However, the naval issue has been seriously ignored. Moreover, due to the direction of military use, the navy has not yet reached an urgently needed position. Therefore, there is no highway in the south and there are no roads. Connected. The most important thing is that Qin's largest naval base has no telegraph. The navy has almost been forgotten. This kind of neglect has a price.

In the modern naval base, the Qin Navy built three large shipyards and two medium-sized shipyards. This naval base was named the Maritime Naval Base. Its intention is obvious. It is to go to sea.

The Qin Navy used old shipbuilding technology and added a large number of ship superstructures in order to increase the number of artillery. The navy did not have sufficient funds and technical personnel. A large number of technical personnel were concentrated on engineering projects, and shipbuilding was neglected. Even so, the Qin Navy still built two cruisers. This cruiser was only 30 feet tall and 15 feet high. It had twenty-five six-inch rear-mounted guns and about 150 naval personnel.

The cruiser is very small, not even a destroyer or a frigate. But it is already the largest ship launched by the Qin State so far. The battleship is still not launched due to the huge project and some engineering problems have not been solved. In addition to the cruiser, there are three destroyers. It is about twenty to twenty-five feet long. The height is also reduced to less than ten feet.

In addition to naval personnel, in addition to officers, there are a large number of experienced sailors. These sailors come from local fishermen. They are good at water and have experience in operating large ships. The officers have strong theoretical knowledge. They know how to fire artillery. How Measuring longitude and latitude. We also know the geostrophic deflection force. But we don’t know anything about the hydrological conditions. In short, it’s terrible. Terribly terrible.[

Chu fishermen freely entered the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Of course they knew about the emergence of the naval base. The Chu Navy still learned from the fishermen that the Qin Navy’s intention to build a large naval base. The appearance of the Qin Navy caused some panic among the top brass of the Chu State. Going down the Yangtze River and landing on the Yangtze River south of Shouchun would be a huge threat to the Chu State. So Shangwen received a warning from the Chu State. Shangwen did not take the matter seriously. Instead, he delayed it until the deadline. Waiting for the navy I will answer after my strength increases.

The navy of Chu State does not have such patience. The emergence of the navy of Qin State is a huge threat. If we attack from the Yangtze River waterway, it will be equivalent to Chu State being attacked from both sides. Even if we take a step back, if we do not attack Chu State, we will only blockade it. The Yangtze River Waterway is also extremely dangerous to the Chu State. The Chu State also occupies the south of the Yangtze River, which is now Jiangxi, Hunan, and the southern part of Jiangsu. If the Qin Navy blocks the Yangtze River Waterway, then the Chu State will be divided into two. Chu State The Navy of the State of China has a traditional naval status in the Yangtze River. The Navy of the State of Qin is just a rising star. The conflicts between the two sides have been reconciled.

Just as the Qin Navy had just launched a destroyer, the eighty-man destroyer was conducting a routine learning voyage on the river.

"Three small Chu ships have appeared at bearing zero." An observation post on the mast of the Qin Haijun shouted loudly. Through his telescope, the flag of the Chu army could be clearly seen.

"We met the Chu navy, sir." A lieutenant said. He held the position of first mate.

"Is there any mistake? This is within the territory of Qin?" the captain called.

"General, there is a large ship of the Qin Navy ahead." The Chu army also discovered the Qin Navy's ships. However, they obviously did not know the official name of the Qin Navy. Instead, they called the other party the Navy.

"Hmph. A group of landlubbers. Let's get close quickly and surround them." The Chu army's ships were typical small ships. The size of the ship was only about fifteen people. This kind of ship is not big, but it is light and flexible. And the Qin navy's In comparison, ships are larger and less flexible.

The captain of the Qin Navy wanted to use artillery to fight, but his sailors were not yet skilled in operating the ship. What was even worse was that only half of the twenty artillery pieces originally planned were available, and none of the sailors knew how to operate the artillery. The navy lacked a strong middle class. This class is the sergeant.

The two sides quickly gathered together. The Chu navy quickly moved closer. This approach was very threatening. Helping people to board the ship was still the traditional water battle mode. However, the Qin navy could only turn awkwardly to avoid the ship because of its larger size. Using this threatening tactic, all sailors on the ship were on high alert. The Marine Corps did not appear on the ship. Because the Marine Corps has not been established for a long time. Two-thirds of the troops are deployed overseas and one-third are at home. Xianyang is responsible for the escort mission. There is no such mission for boarding the ship.

Just like that, the three small boats were like playing tricks on the Qin Navy, swimming back and forth around the destroyer. However, the Qin Navy could only spin in vain to avoid it. Their momentum was completely suppressed.

Chapter 1. The navy of Chu State used their flexibility to severely suppress the navy of Qin State. There was no hope for the navy to go to sea. They could not even defeat the navy, and they could not even protect the waterways occupied by Qin State. Chu State Entering the waterway is like a human realm. This is a threat to Qin.
