The fleet seized by the British was a freight company established by the Chinese. Although the goods were mainly oil and grain, they were sold to Ireland in exchange for lead, zinc, graphite, and copper to meet the needs of the rapid development of the electronics industry in the future. need. Captain Hawke, who led the team, was taken away for interrogation after sending the message. When he learned that the fleet flying the Philippine flag was Chinese, Captain Nelson of the battleship HMS Hood of the Royal Navy just hesitated and then Ordered the arrest of all crew members and sailed all sixteen cargo ships to Bristol, claiming that these cargo ships were transporting strategic materials to Germany. On the way, while reporting the situation, he ordered all the crew members to be executed, leaving no one alive. In this way, he thought that there was no proof of death. After unloading the cargo, he disintegrated or sank the freighter. So what if they were protected by the Furious mercenaries? But how did he know that the communication and information collection at this time, not to mention the telegrams, had already been sent out? Even if there were no telegrams, Du Fei's people were all over the UK. After all, his main areas of activity include warring countries such as Germany, France, and the United Kingdom. He collects folk treasures and cultural relics. The fleet has just entered Bristol and has not unloaded the ship. The secret hall personnel and the Wolf Smoke Team there have found out the news, and After receiving accurate information, no one in the fleet was spared. Dong Ku was furious when he received the news. This had nothing to do with provocation. This was Chi Guoguo's declaration of war. After announcing that it was responsible for the personal safety and property safety of overseas Chinese, the British intercepted merchant ships and killed all the crew members. This is not just a slap in the face. With a gloomy face, Dong Ku handed the message to Zuo Boyang and snorted coldly: "Since they want to fight, let their fleet disappear!!" Zuo Boyang showed murderous intent after reading the message from Du Fei. It is nothing new for Chinese people to be bullied overseas, but when the Advance Army was renamed as the Furious Mercenaries, Dong Ku issued an order to the entire army to protect every Chinese of Chinese origin, as long as their legitimate rights and interests were damaged. If the locals don't actively deal with it, the Furious mercenaries will intervene, even if it's for one person, they won't hesitate to go to war against the country! Although he was angry, he was still very calm. After such a long time, Zuo Boyang, who had begun to learn to use diplomatic methods, read the message. While burning it, he said: "Captain, since the war is about to begin, do we need to make an announcement first?" "Well, both sides will do it at the same time." Dong Ku ordered in a deep voice. Soon, the top management of Nufeng Company passed the plan to attack the British Navy, and then. Mengzi personally led a fleet of six aircraft carriers straight to the Celtic Sea, a British-controlled sea area. At the same time as the Mengzi fleet set off, the Voice of China, which was renamed the Voice of Furious Front, issued a world announcement. One day ago, the cargo ship of Nanyang Shengchang Freight Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of our Eurasian Business Alliance, was detained by the British Royal Fleet and all the crew members on board were massacred. The reason was just to transport supplies to Germany for no reason. Shengchang¡¯s business is trading with the Irish Macdonald family. It has cooperated four times, and the shipping address is also direct to Dublin, Ireland. The British Royal Navy HMS Hood led a fleet to intercept the convoy in St. George's Strait. After the fleet showed the relevant procedures, they were still detained and all the crew were massacred on the way to Bristol. In view of the fact that such banditry must be curbed and shipping can be restored to peace, Furious Company issued an ultimatum. The British Royal Navy must explain and compensate for this incident and hand over all soldiers of the fleet headed by the Hood. The trial will be conducted by the Furious Mercenaries, otherwise the Furious Mercenaries will reserve the right to seek justice through other means. As soon as this announcement came out, the world was immediately in turmoil. This announcement has obviously issued an ultimatum to the UK, leaving no room for negotiation. The advance army is about to join the battle! No, there is going to be war against Britain! This is the reaction of all countries. Before they could digest the information, and before Britain could react, one power call went off one after another. The content is roughly the same. They are all sovereign countries affiliated with the Eurasian Commercial Union. They all denounced the behavior of the British Royal Navy and spoke loudly to seek justice for the interests of the merchant alliance. Even Cuba, the Bahamas, and Bermuda have made the same announcement to the world. Now everyone understands. The Furious mercenaries are going to attack Britain. Moreover, when these countries stood up and spoke, they also showed that they belong to the Eurasian Commercial Alliance and are advancing and retreating together. However, a very important piece of information has not been ignored by everyone, that is, the Furious mercenaries did not declare war on Britain, but only targeted the British Royal Navy. Although the difference here is not big, the essence is different. One is armed and the other is the country. Although the fleet belongs to the country, it does not directly put pressure on the country or issue ultimatums. This leaves room for the British to decide to take over the war. If the navy loses, the country can also classify the responsible person as a personal act and use this to conduct peace talks. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?In response, Churchill looked solemn. Hood's captain Nelson's report made him acquiesce in the killing, just to knock down this arrogant Furious mercenary. He believes that the Royal Navy fleet is not sure of victory in ocean-going operations. With the advantages of offshore operations, convenient supplies, and numerous submarines, Nu Feng's fleet may not necessarily be able to make a profit. ??Besides, the warships that have been modified in large quantities have been equipped with or replaced 127-caliber high-angle guns. With the air defense of near-explosive artillery shells, the enemy's air power is gone. Moreover, land-based aircraft can also participate in naval battles, and the advantages are not the slightest. As for Nu Feng¡¯s invasion of the mainland, he had many reasons to believe that with such a long supply line, no matter how powerful Nu Feng was, it would be difficult for him to launch a landing operation. But he also didn¡¯t dare to take it lightly. Where is Nu Feng's record? This is related to the overall strength of the UK. Once the navy is defeated, they will lose a lot of advantages. But he didn¡¯t know that a battleship group composed of six aircraft carriers had already set off, with a huge unhurried fleet, rushing like a fish, heading straight for his hometown. Even if his fleet avoids fighting, Furious Feng will not give up his original intention of attacking their fleet. Although he deliberately targeted Nu Feng, Churchill still took some diplomatic measures. Order to respond to the outside world and prepare to play Tai Chi. ????????????????????????????????????????????? The damage caused to the freighter will be compensated accordingly after investigation, but there is no mention of the plan for handling the personnel below Captain Hood and Nelson, and they are preparing to use grinding tactics to dull Nu Feng's spirit. Nu Feng responded within half an hour of the British call, repeating the ultimatum on the matter. However, it did not make any condemnation of the British government, but only added a statement. If the Royal Fleet's handling of the relevant perpetrators is not received within an hour, extraordinary measures will be taken to find justice for those sailors who died unjustly. At the same time, demonstrations broke out in these countries that had opened their doors to join the Eurasian Commercial Alliance. The demonstrations, represented by the Chinese, strongly condemned the criminal acts of the British Royal Fleet. This event was elevated to the level of mobilization of all employees and showed a united spirit. Dong Ku¡¯s campaign is just to buy time for Mengzi¡¯s fleet, because the transoceanic battle does not mean that it can be reached in three days or two. Even if they sail at an average speed of thirty-five knots, they are going to the Cape of Good Hope and detouring to the UK. This distance is not three to five thousand kilometers. So, it takes some time. After all, it takes more than 10,000 kilometers to go around Australia and Malacca. ¡°Moreover, the first time troops were sent out because the Chinese were massacred, this also required a change in mentality for the original advance army. After all, this was not the time when Japan was about to be wiped out. This was when they were going across the ocean to find a place for hundreds of boatmen to give them famous watches. Their responsibility was to protect the Chinese from being bullied. But Dong Ku never mentioned that there would be another war in the electricity supply. Because it is beyond our reach, it takes time. Moreover, we must do a good job in mobilizing troops. South Africa, Iraq, the Gulf region, and these territories close to Western Europe must be prepared for first-level defense and be ready for land wars at any time. If Britain insists on having its own way. Tung Ku doesn't mind taking down North Africa, which they now control, and completely blocking Britain's travel channels, allowing him to fight Germany in a small space, close contact, and increase battle losses. An hour passed quickly, and Britain did not lower its airs because of the one-hour ultimatum, nor did it announce any punishment for Nelson. Of course, it is also a statement of attitude. Appropriate compensation is fine, but the soldiers of the British Empire will never be handed over to an armed force without a political axe. And he has absolutely no intention of talking to this armed force. Not a word was said about the Furious Front mercenaries. Dong Ku knew what was going on. He did not wait for an hour, but at the same time that the Mengzi fleet set off, he had already begun to dispatch troops to South Africa and Iraq. Sun Tao's army there did not have to worry about combat effectiveness, but it could not support the Mengzi operation. Therefore, the first-generation Raptor jet fighters moved there, along with large bombers, radar early warning aircraft, and aerial tankers that had just left the experimental base. . This is already the most advanced tanker in the world. When the hard-tube refueling technology is perfected, Nufeng's aerial refueling will lead the world and achieve global air strike capabilities. Of course, missiles are a must for the Raptor, and in addition to air-to-air missiles, they are mainly air-to-ground missiles, which are used to attack British ground targets and support naval air combat and combat against warships. The airport originally built by the British army in Iraq has been expanded and improved in the past few months, becoming the nearest springboard for Dongku to enter Western Europe. The Raptor is not the F-22 of later generations. The technology at this time is not that advanced. It is just much more advanced than the first batch of jet aircraft during World War II. It integrates the respective characteristics of the German and American fighter jets, and as long as the technology allowsDeveloped under circumstances. Its speed reaches 800 kilometers per hour, which is far beyond the limit of 500 to 600 kilometers of today's fighters. In an air battle, without missiles, the airborne Vulcan cannon alone is enough to destroy all opposing fighters. There will be no damage. This is Dong Ku¡¯s aerial killer, specially designed to deal with aircraft from various countries. Moreover, the second-generation Raptor is already under development. When the engine experiment is completed, its speed will exceed one thousand kilometers, killing all competing fighters in an instant. Long-range fire control also allows the strike range to exceed that of any aircraft today. With the addition of missiles, it can truly achieve beyond visual range strike. The missile will hit the enemy aircraft before they are discovered. Unfortunately, due to the relationship between fuel and engine, the current ballistic missile is not enough to reach the British mainland from Iraq. However, the missile of the submarine will be able to move to all parts of the world in up to half a year after the data experiment of the new submarine is completed. , hit any target you want to hit near the coastline. Britain did not respond, and Dong Ku stopped paying attention. It seemed that the matter was just settled. Protest marches in various countries were also canceled three days later. With so much waste waiting to be done, where can you find the time to show off? Calling again is more convincing than anything else. Moreover, it is very crucial to collect the location of the British fleet that has begun to gather. The big net has been cast, and they are waiting for the Mengzi fleet to arrive at the attack position. Launch an attack on the British fleet. Although Churchill was prepared to play Tai Chi to wear down Nu Feng¡¯s spirit, and finally provided appropriate compensation and a long period of back-and-forth negotiations, so that the matter slowly faded out of people¡¯s sight, he was not so careless that he did not take precautions. The aircraft carriers Fury, Hundred-Eyed Giant, Arena, Glory, Valiant, and Ark Royal all gathered to converge on Plymouth. Main battleships such as battleships and cruisers also gathered at the surrounding ports on both sides. Be prepared in case the Furious Fleet attacks. Nearby airports also began to mobilize fighter planes and bombers to enter the area, preparing to destroy the main force of the enemy fleet when the enemy comes. He has reason to believe that the six to seven hundred planes on land alone are enough to feed the enemy fleet. As for other coasts, there are radar systems that have been built again. Not to mention the fleet, even in air strikes, he was absolutely sure to shoot down all the planes with those powerful near-explosion shells. These days, except for the German army, where Lao Xi has made new deployments, the only other countries left are the United States and Mexico, which are still fighting, but there is not much progress on either side. Using artillery shells and bombings to constantly consume each other, there was not much fluctuation in the defense line. Lao Xi knew that the advance army would definitely not let the British go. Although it was renamed the Furious Mercenaries, its style was obvious. The Soviet Union and Russia were unable to fight back and forced them to cede large areas of land. They chased Japan for tens of thousands of kilometers, but in the end the Japanese army that escaped was wiped out in South Africa. It can be seen that his nature is determined to retaliate, so how can he tolerate the blatant provocation of Britain? Therefore, while he was engaged in a brutal winter war with Soviet Russia, he began to mobilize troops near the English Channel, making preparations to invade the British mainland if there was an opportunity to end this confrontation. Eliminate the effective forces of Britain, and turn to deal with Soviet Russia with all its strength. His plan was known to Dong Ku. His army had not yet been mobilized, but he had just made a plan. Dong Ku received the news. "You want to take advantage of the situation and drag me into your camp completely?" Dong Ku sneered after reading the message. Zuo Boyang took the message and read it and said: "Captain, isn't it time to add some new guys to Lao Maozi? We can let go of our experimental products that are no longer needed." "Yes! That's enough!" He nodded and then smiled: "Adjutant, do you know why this weapon has the name of Soviet Russia?" "Is it prepared for them from the beginning?" Zuo Boyang asked doubtfully. "Yes, it is prepared for them. It will make Lao Xi suffer a little and increase his efforts to purchase weapons. This will save him some time to think about things, research and develop new weapons on his own, and still have the energy to make a profit." Dong Ku After saying that, he then ordered: "Inform Goudan to invite Soviet officials to observe the new weapons." In less than an hour, Teslovsky, the Soviet official responsible for contacting Goudan, stood at the weapons testing site that he had visited several times. , I don¡¯t know if there are any new weapons this time that he needs to observe. But he would not refuse, and looked forward to it very much, because every time he returned home with a full load, although he paid for it with gold and jewelry, he thought it was worth it. In the test site, a truck covered with canvas was parked not far away. Teslovsky took off his cotton gloves and held a telescope, ready to see what new weapon it was. Following the order, the truck took off its cover, revealing rows of gun barrels. This is Looking at the twenty or thirty gun barrels, Teslovsky didn¡¯t understand what they were. But it's obviously a cannon. Goudan ignored Teslovsky's reaction and calmly ordered: "Target target No. 1, fire with all your strength!" "Target No. 1 is locked!" "Ready to launch!" "Launch!!" shouted one after another. Amidst the sound, a small red flag suddenly dropped, and then a scene appeared that stunned Teslovsky. With a roaring sound, the multi-barreled artillery truck was drowned in flames, tongues of fire spurted out, and fire dragons quickly fled away. A few seconds later, there was a bombardment on the hillside in the distance, and the huge target was covered by dense explosions. , in less than a minute, it turned into a sea of ??fire. "Load! Keep firing!!" Goudan didn't even look at the stunned Teslovsky and ordered to keep firing. Following the order, groups of soldiers pushed small carts and quickly approached the artillery cart. Then they opened the boxes on the cart and filled the barrels with large artillery shells two to three meters long. They were busy for a few seconds and then evacuated. Then the fire flashed again, and tongues of flames rushed towards the potholed hillside Before the stunned Teslovsky could recover, four trucks of the same model slowly drove into the test site, and then The barrel was raised, and in less than a minute, the dense flames blinded Teslovsky's eyes again. The hills in front were no longer visible. They were all filled with fire and gunpowder smoke. Several broken tanks parked there, several cement and stone houses, bunkers, and trenches were all lost in the artillery fire. We waited for more than ten minutes. After the smoke cleared, Teslovsky was horrified to see that there was nothing left there. "General Li, what kind of weapon is this" Teslovsky asked with a trembling voice. "Old friend, this is our army's latest weapon, called the Katyusha rocket launcher!" Goudan replied with a smile. Katyusha Teslovsky's brain raced, and he did not pay attention to the specialness of this name. Instead, he asked urgently: "My friend, you asked me to come here not just to watch the shooting show, but tell me." "What do I need to pay for this weapon?" "Haha!" Goudan laughed, "Of course, this is our weapon to help you win the war. We can't just sell you expendable weapons and shells. This weapon will determine Whether the war is won or lost, a row of thirty vehicles will cover several kilometers of defense lines and can destroy everything there. We will decide the price later when we have a drink. I can tell you the number, five hundred Katyushas and Katyushas of the same model. With ten basic rockets, you can automatically obtain the transfer of this technology and guarantee the supply of rockets, so that you will not have guns and ammunition"
