Chapter 657: The Eve of the War(1/2)
,
spn "This cannon is so powerful, it's like a cannon hitting ants."
When Zhang Bing saw the real-time transmission of the battlefield scene, the small sampan from the Principality of Rank was destroyed by a devastating main gun from the China, he couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Shusheng patted his head. This kid stayed in the body of a bionic robot and ran around all day long. Many people even mistakenly thought he was his illegitimate son, only to find out later that he was a robot.
Zhang Bing is really too humane.
"In fact, it is enough to use the secondary artillery, but the momentum is not so majestic. This artillery is not just for destroying it. This scene of counterattacking the invaders is made into a documentary, and you can see it on TV tomorrow. It is an excellent encouragement.
Opportunities for people’s hearts.”[
As long as the opponent does not surrender immediately, the main gun must be used to destroy it. This is Zhang Shusheng's personal order.
He has already smelled the smell of war. The Principality of Rank is not a rookie like the Gallimore family. Although the empire is no longer a guerrilla force with two or three battleships, overall, the war will not go particularly smoothly, and there will be certain problems.
Stiff.
At this time, publicizing the majesty of the imperial army in advance and standing firm on a higher moral level will be of great benefit to the protracted war.
Zhang Bing: "Boss, although the Principality of Lanke has only been promoted to the second level civilization for about two hundred years, their strength is still not something we can resist. You have to find a way as soon as possible."
Zhang Shusheng nodded, of course he had thought of a solution, and it was a complete set.
War is certain, this is a frontal battlefield.
On the frontal battlefield, the empire will fight with all its strength, at least in the early stage, it will have an advantage.
"If the Lanke people dare to mobilize a large number of troops, then Longshan and the first-level civilizations like tigers and wolves around them will not just sit idly by. This is an excellent opportunity.
This is called carrying psychological warfare to the enemy’s homeland and to the enemy’s enemies.”
The enemy of your enemy is your temporary friend.
"Hmm? Spreading rumors? I like it so much, boss, you must give me this job."
Zhang Bing's eyes lit up, he liked this thing. Spreading rumors is the most fun.
Zhang Shusheng: "Well, you first investigate the mobilization situation of the Lanke military, and then fabricate some information and distribute it to the virtual network, first causing the Lanke people to be passive and delaying their mobilization.
When necessary, you can spend money to hire some detectives and intelligence organizations near Ranke to get confidential information on their military movements."
There will be a lot of inadvertent information flowing out on the virtual network.
For example, when the army is mobilized, some soldiers will travel far away with the warships, and among these soldiers, there will always be some soldiers or officers who will reveal the news to their families.
At this time, these family members will reveal clues on the virtual Internet and in virtual social interactions.
Zhang Bing, who is equivalent to a super search engine, is best at finding needles in haystacks.
The mobilization of the imperial military is also in full swing.[
"Woooooooo..."
The Empire's First Fleet, the First and Second Squadrons located on the moon, are two adjacent huge spaceports, which can even be said to be twin spaceports.
The urgent combat siren was buzzing, resounding throughout the spaceport.
Some soldiers who were on vacation on Earth have been rushed back by small transportation spacecraft. After a day of rest, the entire army is ready to set off.
On the anti-gravity magnetic levitation channels leading to the battleship, several officers and soldiers were advancing rapidly, and soon they were all boarding the ship.
"The First Squadron is all ready!"
Sun Xiwu personally sat on a Black Plus Empire version of the G-type reinforced battleship. This battleship also has dual main guns. Although it is not as powerful as the Shenlong-class battleship, its overall performance is similar to that of the Tianlong-class battleship.
However, the number of battleships exchanged by Zhang Shusheng is not large, and they will not be exchanged in large quantities in the future.
"The First Squadron will take off one after another according to the battleship numbers."
"Yes. Your Excellency, Commander!"
Sun Xiwu is the battleship command commander of the Space Command. This war is about to begin. He is responsible for commanding the overall situation together with Jiang Baili and others. Military Affairs Minister Jiang Baili, Deputy Military Affairs Minister Su Yuren, battleship command commander Sun Xiwu, and deputy commander Qin Baijiang are composed of four people.
The command level of the war.
"The Second Squadron is all ready!"
"The Second Squadron will take off one after another according to the battleship numbers. First, the Second Squadron will form a battleship formation according to the original plan and merge with the transport ship formation to prepare."
Sun Xiwu ordered in one breath.
According to the combat plan, the first batch of combat forces that the empire joined in this war mainly included the First Squadron, the Second Squadron, part of the Third Squadron, and the China.
Now, except for a few Shenlong-class battleships and Tianlong-class battleships under construction in the empire, the total number of main battleships has not changed much from a year ago.
As of now, the empire has a total of 41 battleships, 19 cruisers, 8 destroyers, and 18 transport ships. These are the main ship types capable of long-distance operations.
The Empire's First Fleet has three squadrons, each with 10 battleships, 5 cruisers, 2 destroyers, and 4 transport ships.
The remaining 10 battleships, 4 heavy cruisers and 2 destroyers, as well as the China super battleship, formed the Empire's Guards Fleet.
In this battle, Zhang Shusheng decided to invest a total of 30 battleships, 15 cruisers, 6 destroyers, and 12 transport ships in the first batch to form a fleet with strong strength.
The remaining Guards Fleet will be responsible for the defense tasks of the Trident Galaxy, the Twin Galaxy (Changqing Star-Avatar Star), and the Earth's mainland.
In the absence of powerful external enemies, such a force is powerful enough.[
If the war is urgent, some troops can be mobilized to support the front line.
In addition to these main ships, the empire also owns many commercial transport ships, patrol ships, manned spacecraft, etc.
The battleship troops at the lunar base were quickly assembled, forming an endless metal mountain in the outer space of the moon.
"Set off!"
Under the leadership of Sun Xiwu, the fleet will start. They will join the third squadron from the Trident Galaxy midway and rush to the star area where the incident occurred - the Zhennan Star Area.
The star region where the incident occurred has been named the Zhennan Star Region because it is located in the southern part of the empire's territory.
When the fleet passed the earth, Sun Xiwu specifically ordered to slow down, and then ordered the entire ship's communications to be turned on.
"Stand at attention and salute!!"
Sun Xiwu led hundreds of thousands of officers and soldiers at their combat posts to salute the aqua blue planet on the screen.
Different from the sneaky and petty fights in the past, even ordinary soldiers realized that this time they were going to fight a big war, and they might not be able to get back in a year or a few years.
Maybe, they will die in the Zhennanguan Star Territory.
The aqua blue planet is a place that every citizen of the empire cannot forget. Even the few non-native citizens on the battleship silently saluted.
These ethnic minorities have joined the empire for a long time and have been affected. At least they have the concept of rurality, the concept of collaboration, and the concept of loyalty to the empire.
From time to time, the defense bases on the earth emit signal lights that can be seen as far away as outer space. They are signals that symbolize blessings.
With a click, the communication was cut to an office. On the screen, Zhang Shusheng was wearing a dark military uniform. In front of him was an order that was about to be read out at a high-level military meeting. He stood up and saluted the screen.
A standard military salute.
"Sons of the empire, the journey to the Zhennan Pass Star Territory is not too far, but it is a long journey. In an era when the glory of the army has become a thing of the past, the battleship force has become the master of the stars.
You have shouldered the responsibility of defending your homeland and defending your empire.
You have shouldered the responsibility of resisting aggression and counterattacking powerful enemies.
You are fighting in silence hundreds of millions of kilometers away from your hometown.
However, when I see you off today, I don’t just say a few empty words and toast you with a glass of wine. I want you to go to war with confidence. I will be there to guard the rear. You will not be isolated and help, and you will not become cannon fodder. You will even welcome the source.
Continuous reinforcements.
The enemy may be strong, but we are not weak either, and we will do our best to defeat them."
After Zhang Shusheng finished speaking, there was no nonsense. He knew that he would definitely fulfill his promise.
Picking up the glass of wine in front of him, Zhang Shusheng drank it down in one gulp without saying a word, then placed it heavily on the table and saluted again.
"Stand at attention! Salute! Long live, long live, long live your Majesty!"
On the other end of the virtual communication, Sun Xiwu took the lead in standing at attention and saluting, and shouted out the most respectful words in his heart.
Watching the fleet go away from the screen until it disappeared into space, Zhang Shusheng couldn't help but sigh slightly.
The war came so quickly, and no one could predict the future.
If I could know in advance that the war was coming, would I still take out a loan to buy a battleship factory? Would I use the same huge sum of money to purchase hundreds of battleships first?
This is a very difficult choice.
However, now Zhang Shusheng knew that he had to start gathering battleships again, and send as many as he could to the front line. The more the empire's main battleships, especially the battleships, were, the fewer casualties would be suffered on the front line.
"How can we assemble another fleet in a short time?"
Zhang Shusheng pondered for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as if he had found a way, and he immediately made up his mind to give it a try. If he succeeded, he would have more warships to participate in the battle.
The empire was mobilizing troops and generals, and the Principality of Lanc also encountered new problems.
"Your Majesty Prime Minister, our communication with the scientific research ship has been interrupted."
In the Principality of Rank, the secretary hurriedly reported to Prime Minister McBee who had just returned to the office.
"Huh? Have you found out the reason?"
To be continued...
