    On October 1, 1938, after Jin Batian served as the Governor of East Moscow for five months, he took a plane at the airport outside Moscow and left the city that had entered winter - experiencing the winter in Moscow once was enough, if you want to experience it  The two times were just looking for trouble.

    Before boarding the plane, all the citizens of Moscow lined the streets to see him off, and gave him umbrellas with names written on them in accordance with the earlier etiquette of Chinese officials leaving office. Jin Batian also had to take off his boots as shoes in winter and leave them to Moscow.  The citizens will miss you.

    In fact, Jin Batian felt that he had done nothing. Since the surrender of Tsarist Russia on May 1st, Jin Batian and his men had been killing people in addition to arresting people in Eastern Russia. This time, Red Square lived up to its name, killing people and bleeding every day.  Not only was Jin Batian's side of East Russia killing again, Heinrich was also killing those in West Russia, but the ones he killed were all current counterrevolutionaries in the Tsarist Russian colonies of the Sino-German Empire. Both of them called this suppressing counterrevolutionaries -  ¡ªAbbreviation for Suppression of Current Counterrevolution.

    Although the Tsar and the cabinet surrendered under gunpoint pressure, the empire was also dismembered by the Chinese and German forces.  However, there are still a large number of people in Tsarist Russia who are always thinking about restoring the former glory of the Tsarist Empire. These people are all vested interests during the February Revolution - the nobles and capitalists of Tsarist Russia. Naturally, they do not want to promote themselves and get rich if the government collapses.  , so these dissatisfied people either colluded with foreign reactionary forces in an attempt to infiltrate, or colluded with local troops to rebel.

    Naturally, such current counter-revolutionaries must be killed as a warning. After catching a group of them on the first day, they beheaded and killed a group of rebels in the Red Square of East Moscow.  A number of current counterrevolutionaries were also hanged in the Red Square of Western Moscow.  The citizens of Moscow were very happy about the death of these people, because these people used to be officials and big bosses who lorded it over the people of Tsarist Russia.  Before the dozens of warm corpses had time to be carried out of the city and burned, they were snatched and eaten by many Moscow citizens surrounding the Red Square watching the execution scene - this scene really reminded Jin Batian of the people of Forty-Nine City three hundred years ago.  The matter of sharing Yuan Chonghuan came.  History is always recycling.

    The next day, another group of active counterrevolutionaries were hanged on Heinrich's side of the Red Square in West Moscow, but here in East Moscow, the tactics were changed.  The next day, Jin Batian ordered a Russian-made tank to be brought to the Red Square in East Moscow. After it was painted with the blue sun paint of the Central Army, it was tied to the ground in the Red Square in East Moscow and arranged in a row of new tanks that could not move.  A group of captured counter-revolutionaries had their heads crushed with tank tracks one by one.

    This scene also made Heinrich terrified. You must know that the SS also had similar courses in training, but it was just driving past the head - as expected, moving an extra twenty centimeters would be fatal.

    On the third day, hangings were still used in the West Moscow Red Square, but the East Moscow Red Square changed the pattern again-the dismemberment of five horses once again opened the eyes of Moscow citizens.  Heinrich also knew this word when he was learning Chinese, but if he really saw the scene, it would be because Heinrich was also killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood.  I'm afraid I've already peed.

    On the fourth day, the hangings in the Red Square in West Moscow continued. Several hollow copper pillars were erected in the Red Square in East Moscow. Heinrich and the citizens of Moscow, who were not sure why, were lucky enough to see a very retro punishment, which was created by the Shang Dynasty.  Founded - the punishment of burning with fire.  The citizens of Moscow were boiling as they watched the criminals being tied to the hot copper pillars and wailing - it would definitely taste much better after being executed than eating them raw.

    As for the fact that the corpse could not be restrained, neither Jin Batian nor Heinrich cared much about it.  Slavs are synonymous with barbarism.  What else can you expect from them? Speaking of which, the ancestors of these people who continue to live will probably have to eat less if they want to survive.  Furthermore, according to the theory that all living beings are equal, the reasons for eating meat and being vegetarian are the same, because plants are also alive - if you really want to be vegetarian, you can only eat soil, sand and stones, but carbon-based life obviously cannot do this.  .  Facts have proved that those who eat Guanyin soil have become bloated to death.

    On the fifth day, hangings were still being carried out in the Red Square in West Moscow - the rigid and dogmatic Germans generally would not change their tricks, but they also knew that they would change their tricks in East Moscow today.

    Sure enough, on the fifth day, a frying pan was set up on the Red Square in East Moscow.  The arrested active counterrevolutionaries were thrown in one by one, fried and fished out again.

    The citizens of Moscow are excited again.  Yesterday we grilled meat and today we fried meatballs, but unfortunately we didn¡¯t give out tomato sauce or vegetable salad.  It is said that many people on Heinrich's side have advised him to change his tactics, but Heinrich is really not good at this. Poison gas can be used in concentration camps, but obviously it cannot be used in public places like Red Square.  .  Heinrich thought about the execution of prisoners in European history. In addition to hanging, shooting, and guillotine, the only remaining method was burning. However, the burning method invented by the church was incomparable to the burning method.

    By the way, for the past five months, even the hard-hearted Jin Batian was a little tired of the non-stop killings. Fortunately, he changed dozens ofAfter the tricks, Jin Batian also followed the good example and only retained traditional projects such as cannon torture and frying pan to deal with the rebels and rebels in Tsarist Russia.  Taking advantage of the fact that the Central Navy of the Nanjing Government had caused too much hatred and attracted an attack from the navies of Britain, France and Italy, Jin Batian reported his resignation as the governor of East Moscow.

    Principal Chiang also saw that he was about to have a decisive battle with the little devil's navy, so he reorganized Jin Batian, the blessed general who conquered Yan'an, restored Liaoning, and destroyed Tsarist Russia, into the naval system, and took the post of deputy commander-in-chief of the Central Navy as vice-admiral¡ª¡ª  Former deputy commander-in-chief Gui Yongqing suffered concussion and other injuries early in the Yellow Sea naval battle. He is still recovering in the Lianyungang Naval Sanatorium.

    As for appointing someone else to be the deputy commander-in-chief, it is not impossible, but either he is not qualified enough or he does not want to go to sea. The principal feels that Nanyang is just making a living at sea. Moreover, this ship was built by someone else, so he must be superior to others in commanding it.  at.  So in addition to taking up the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Jin Batian also served as the captain of the newly commissioned battleship Yanshan - the Navy's internal code-named Zhongshan-class battleship No. 618, and the Navy Commander-in-Chief Zhongshan (601).  Together with Commander Chen Shaokuan, he was responsible for the decisive battle against the Japanese navy.

    So the Jinbatian plane that was supposed to go to Peiping to report on its work refueled in Xi'an and flew directly to the Qingdao Naval Base.  Take over the battleship Yanshan, code-named 618.

    The Central Navy here is busy receiving new ships, while the little devils over there are being deceived by Britain, France, the United States and Italy.  It was finally decided to let the navy send troops to fight to the death with the Central Navy.

    In order to allow the little devils to go to sea and have a decisive battle with the Central Army, the four countries of Britain, France, the United States and Italy also shed a lot of blood.  The most important point is to spend a lot of money to buy all the ships that the Japanese went to sea this time. In this way, when the maritime coalition of Britain, France and Italy comes to Asia, the Central Navy will win, and only the dilapidated Central Navy ships need to be sent in.  Just the bottom of the sea.  Then bombard or harass Chinese coastal cities along the way, just as they did in both Opium Wars.  Maybe this time there will be a chance to capture Nanjing, the capital of China - if the defenders of Nanjing are defeated by naval guns.

    "But even though the little devil's navy has taken the money, it is not willing to be a stepping stone for others.  The Japanese Navy still wants to win. Although it is said that the main force of the Nanjing Central Navy's Zhongshan-class battleships has increased this year, at most doubling the number is only twelve super battleships.

    The little devil now has a total of ten main battleships, including the Yamato battleship and the Musashi battleship that have been newly launched and completed outfitting service.  If the Nakayama-class battleship of the Central Navy of the Nanjing government belongs to the category of super battleship, then the Yamato battleship and the Musashi battleship are both dream-class battleships-nine 460 mm main guns, standard displacement of 64,000 tons, and full load displacement of 71,700 tons are both beyond  Data for the Zhongshan-class super battleship.

    If it weren¡¯t for the news that the number of Nakayama-class main battleships of the Nanjing government¡¯s navy had increased significantly, the little devil would have gone to the decisive battle with the main force of the Nanjing Central Navy after the two Yamato-class battleships were put into service.

    Because they wanted to win, the Japanese sold the fleet and its personnel.  It also proposed leasing the US Pacific Fleet to participate in the war on a wet lease basis.

    The U.S. Pacific Fleet also has four battleships, one aircraft carrier and dozens of auxiliary ships. Among the four battleships, two are Colorado-class battleships (treaty ships) and two are North Carolina-class battleships (upgraded versions of treaty ships).  These two main battleships lag behind the Nakayama-class and Yamato-class battleships in terms of design and performance. The U.S. Empire is building a new generation of Iowa-class battleships.

    I was overjoyed to hear that someone wanted to wet-lease this fleet - the vast Pacific and Atlantic Ocean are the best barriers, and it would be difficult for the US imperialists and other countries to attack us.  It is precisely because of this that isolationism became popular in the US empire.  Isolation is isolation.  However, there was still business to be done. The representatives of the US imperialists pretended to be coy for a while and then, with the persuasion of Britain, France and Italy, they handed over the Pacific Fleet stationed in Hawaii to the little devils on a wet lease basis.

    The happiest people are Britain, France and Italy. This is equivalent to a five-nation maritime coalition. How can the Nanjing government's navy be invincible?

    The little devil is also satisfied. There are now fourteen main battleships.  Two of the Dream-class battleships doubled the Nanjing Navy's main battleships.  There are only twelve Zhongshan-class battleships.  The current little devil government and the navy are confident of defeating the Nanjing Navy.

    But what the little devils don¡¯t know is that the Zhongshan-class battleships currently equipped by the Nanjing Central Navy are neither the six a year ago nor the twelve they imagined, nor the eighteen at the beginning of this year, but now a full twenty.  A Zhongshan-class battleship.

    Jin Batian¡¯s shipyard exploded with warships very quickly. There are still four Zhongshan-class battleships under construction now. If we are willing to wait another ten days or so, another four Zhongshan-class battleships will be launched.

    It¡¯s just a little devilTo give the Central Navy another chance to wait, on the fourth day after Jin Batian arrived in Qingdao and just took over the battleship Yanshan, Yamamoto Isoroku, the commander-in-chief of this naval battle, sent a clear telegram to the Nanjing government - tomorrow morning  The decisive battle at Dadonggou.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????: The Japanese Navy first defeated the Beiyang Fleet and then the Russian Far East Fleet in the two naval battles at Dadonggou, it has always been considered a blessed place by the Japanese Navy.  Some people even pointed out that if they had fought in the Dadonggou sea battle last time, they would have won, etc.

    This time the Japanese naval commander Yamamoto Isoroku did not have to choose this blessed land, but the Central Navy was either in Lianyungang or Qingdao, but there was no shortage of forts at these two airports. It was not cost-effective to go there to fight head-on with the Central Army and Navy.  , and all the navy ships and navy carrier-based aircraft have been discovered in sneak attacks, which shows that the other party's preventive measures are in place and flawless - the Japanese Navy lost three aircraft carriers and hundreds of aircraft to prove this.

    Yamamoto Isoroku also studied the art of war and knew the principle of using surprise to win with justice.  Since repeated sneak attacks failed, a fight would eventually have to be fought openly and openly.

    Because the Japanese commander Yamamoto Isoroku used a conspiracy this time, the principal thought about it.  In order not to lose the prestige of the Central Navy, it was also decided to have a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy at Dadonggou tomorrow.  Anyway, in the original plan, the main force of the navy was to go north from Qingdao to find the main fleet of the Japanese for a decisive battle.  The telegram sent by the Japanese in clear text only advanced the date of the decisive battle by a few days.

    In this way, almost as soon as Jin Batian completed the computerized transformation of the battleship Yanshan, the entire fleet began to head north to Dadonggou for a decisive battle with the Japanese Navy.  As for this large computer, it was naturally bought by Jin Batian. With 500,000 gold coins, the Yanshan was transformed into a fully computer-controlled computer - roughly like a fool operating it. After the transformation was completed, the captain only needed to press the button in the captain's room to fire the gun.  Just press the button.  Like radar search.  The identification of friend and foe, muzzle locking, and ammunition loading will all be completed by computer-controlled machines and manipulators. The only thing that requires manual confirmation is the firing of the main battery and secondary battery anti-aircraft gun.

    Of course, this does not mean that the sailors on the ship are useless. People still need to complete tasks such as wiping the deck damage control.  But in this way, the Yanshan needs much fewer personnel, and other battleships have more than a thousand people.  Only the battleship Yanshan has only 500 people on board. These more than 500 people are the envy of people on other ships, because the entire bridge staff of the battleship Yanshan is composed of the Night Killer sisters under Jin Batian.  Not many, a total of sixty-four people.

    When he came back from Moscow, Jin Batian only brought back these Night Killer sisters. As for the others, he wanted to come back.  Honey, take the train.  More than a thousand people are really not a number that can be transported by a few planes.

    At eight o'clock in the morning on October 5, 1938, the Central Navy Fleet, with the battleship Yanshan as the leader, twenty Zhongshan-class battleships and more than a hundred auxiliary ships arrived at Dadonggou in the Yellow Sea.

    After the Japanese reconnaissance plane discovered the Central Navy's fleet in the distance, it immediately went back to report.  Japanese naval commander Yamamoto Isoroku sent a message in clear text code at 8:30: The war will begin today.

    The leading battleship of the Japanese fleet is the Yamato, a dream-class battleship that was just launched after many years of design and construction by the Japanese.

    It ranks first in the world in terms of tonnage and firepower.  Jin Batian knows this better than the Japanese, because all the technologies are in Jin Batian's optical brain. This Yamato-class fantasy battleship Jin Batian has also analyzed, and the result is mediocre.  First of all, the armor steel used in Japanese shipbuilding is of average quality. The defensive power of this Yamato-class battleship is not as good as the Zhongshan-class battleship that was just launched this year. The steel technology here is advancing with the times.

    This 460mm naval gun seems to be very powerful, but it is also because the development level of Xiaojiizi's artillery is only second-rate in the world.  The world's first-class 406mm naval gun has the same power as the Japanese 460mm naval gun, which shows the difference.  The maximum rate of fire of the 460mm naval gun is only 1.8 rounds per minute, while the maximum rate of fire of the Zhongshan-class battleship newly launched this year is 2.2 rounds per minute, and the maximum rate of fire of the Yanshan can reach 5 rounds per minute after completing computerized transformation.

    In terms of fire control, Yamato-class battleships still use optical sights - while all Nakayama-class battleships use optical sights in conjunction with shipboard radars.  Not to mention that Yanshan No. 1 Jinbatian can also open a scanner like God's perspective.

    One or two advantages are nothing, but the sum of these advantages makes the Nakayama-class battleships not at a disadvantage against the Yamato-class battleships - of course, it is just about not falling behind, and victory still requires some luck.  Fortunately, Jin Batian remembered that neither the Yamato nor the Musashi seemed to be as lucky as the Fengxue destroyer.

    After their respective carrier-based aircraft detected the enemy, the order of the fleets on both sides changed. Battleships, heavy cruisers, and destroyers were lined up in order according to their tonnage. The fleets of both sides moved one to the south and one to the north before entering the maximum range.  Turn to the east, from the skyIt can be seen that the two fleets are advancing eastward on the sea to form a "eight" shape and getting closer - this is also necessary to exert side firepower.

    It was just that at this time, the commander-in-chief of the Japanese fleet, Naval Commander Yamamoto Isoroku, was not happy after knowing the number of battleships of the Central Army. Yamamoto Isoroku could not understand how the Nanjing Central Navy managed to conjure twenty Zhongshan-class battleships.  According to the analysis of the Naval Staff Department, the Central Military Navy will have no more than fifteen main battleships, with ten or twelve being the most likely.  Fourteen more battleships have been added. Not to mention that it is not easy to build a battleship. Where the personnel will come from is also a problem.  But for now, we can only hope that the dream-class battleships Yamato and Musashi, one after another, can quickly deal with their opponents and then assist other ships.

    Yamamoto Isoroku did not know that the principal used the method of waiting for ships in order to control the speed of the development of the navy. In recent years, the number of naval personnel trained on battleships and heavy cruisers has been overstaffed, but being able to board such armored ships as sailors is  People mop the deck every day willingly.

    These overstaffed personnel are the reserve personnel of the Central Navy. When the ship arrives, the overstaffed personnel can be sent to the new ship. This Kent-modified heavy cruiser with a full load of 18,000 tons is a reduced version of the Zhongshan ship, except for the tonnage and gun caliber.  The principles all make sense.

    After the two fleets gradually approached the distance of 45 kilometers with the Yanshan Yamato as the leader, the computer in the bridge of the Yanshan first alarmed: "Danger, entering the maximum range of the enemy ship. Danger, entering the maximum range of the enemy ship."

    However, Jin Batian could only choose to ignore the warning and continue to sail eastward and gradually get closer to the enemy fleet. After all, the maximum range of the Zhongshan-class battleship's 406 mm 48-caliber naval gun was only 37 kilometers. Fortunately, in this era, no one at sea can  The shells will be wasted at the maximum range. Thirty kilometers is a lucky distance, and even if you fire a hundred rounds, you may not hit even one.

    The two fleets gradually approached, and by the time they reached a distance of thirty-five kilometers, the Yanshan had already locked onto the most dangerous battleship Yamato. Jin Batian finally couldn't help but press the salvo button and opened fire on the battleship Yamato first, always listening.  The sound of the computer's alarm in the bridge was too stressful.

    Eight rounds of one-ton armor-piercing projectiles spewed out of the muzzles of Yanshan's eight main guns at twice the speed of sound, flying straight from the air to the Yamato battleship in the distance.

    Yamamoto Isoroku looked at the flames emitting from the muzzle of the Yanshan in the gun scope, and said to himself: "Oh my, my, I can't help but fire."
