This Endless Sea-class battleship in Lane Harbor has been changed into the livery of the Daheng Navy, hung the peony flag of the Daheng Navy, and replaced with the officers and men of the Daheng Navy, no matter from that point of view, this is the Endless Sea-class battleship of the Daheng Imperial Navy.

Anyway, these are all battleships of the same class, and the appearance is the same, is it possible that the Gafians will dare to say that this ship is their Ornish when they see it in the future?

Just kidding, when we are Ords, they are bullies!

Don't talk about you Gaphian, even if the Great Heng people themselves came to say that this ship is mine, Lao Tzu will not recognize it.

On the side of the Daheng Empire, although they were dissatisfied with the Orr's refusal to lease the cutting-edge capital ships, they didn't say much, after all, even if this kind of thing is a country with a good relationship, there is a high probability that it will not borrow it.

After all, the capital ship is not a cabbage, so how can you say that you can borrow it.

So after getting an Endless Sea-class capital ship, it will be forgotten, although this ship is so old that it can only take a back seat in the eyes of the Daheng Imperial Navy itself, but even if it is a second line, it can still play some role at this critical moment.

Anyway, it's not a battleship, and the Orr Kingdom Navy has already modified the ship's rapid-fire guns before, and the secondary guns have been replaced with ten-year 150 mm 45 times rapid-fire guns and nine-year 75 mm rapid-fire guns, and then the Daheng Imperial Navy's own smokeless propellant and armor-piercing shells are distributed, and the combat power is still feasible, at least better than the four low-freeboard battleships pulled out by the Second Fleet of the Gafia Imperial Navy before.

With such a modified Endless Sea-class battleship joining, this can be regarded as strengthening some strength, in the period of time before the capital ships of the Southwest Fleet were repaired and replenished at the Ryan military base, and the second batch of reinforcements arrived, it was not said that there was not a single capital ship.

On February 23, the twelfth year of Qiansheng, the second reinforcement fleet of the Daheng Imperial Navy, the 'First Mobile Fleet', urgently assembled from Nanfeng Port and headed south.

The First Mobile Fleet is composed of the main fleet of the First Fleet on the east coast of the Great Heng Imperial Navy.

Its core formation is the Third Battleship Fleet, which has jurisdiction over four Jingzhou-class battleships;

the 3rd Cruiser Fleet, with two Fengyang-class armored cruisers and two Crane-class armored cruisers;

The 6th cruiser flotilla had four Zhendong-class second-class protection cruisers.

In addition, the third destroyer fleet, the fourth destroyer fleet, the fifth destroyer fleet, and the three destroyer fleets combined, have a total of three Yuchi-class cruisers and twelve Yuanlin-class destroyers.

In the entire First Mobile Fleet, there are four battleships, four armored cruisers, four second-class protective cruisers, three light cruisers, and 12 destroyers.

The total tonnage of the above-mentioned warships together is more than 140,000 tons, and this does not include the numerous torpedo boats of two or three hundred tons, mine-laying and mine-clearing vessels, various supply ships, and hospital ships for accompanying auxiliary purposes.

This First Mobile Fleet, which almost occupies most of the strength of the Great Heng Empire's navy!

This shows the importance that the Great Heng Empire attaches to this war with the Gafia Empire.

Because a large number of cutting-edge capital ships were dispatched to fight south, in order to prevent accidents, the empire has already carried out a blockade of coastal areas on the east and west coasts of the mainland, and at the same time, the other remaining ships have also entered a state of high alert to avoid being robbed by third parties.

Several major military ports have entered a state of first-class combat readiness, and a large number of light ships are patrolling the periphery, and at the same time, a strict blockade has been carried out in the ports, and a large number of measures to prevent sneak attacks have been temporarily added, such as installing a large number of anti-mine nets, and even directly blocking some shipping lanes by means of laying mines.

And this series of preparations also includes the early commissioning of the Gaoqing!

Gaoqing, as the Daheng Empire, is also the first mixed main gun battleship on the Blue Star, just finished outfitting in January this year, and entered the secret or stage, according to the scheduled plan, the ship's sea trials are expected to last about three months, but now the situation is tense, the Navy will put this warship into active service in advance, and then continue to conduct sea trials while training, in order to form combat effectiveness in advance.

With the Gaoqing, the top battleship of our time, put into service ahead of schedule, it also strengthened the confidence of the Daheng Imperial Navy.

If it weren't for the Gaoqing, a new type of top-level mixed main gun battleship, to enter service ahead of schedule, in fact, the Daheng Imperial Navy would not have dared to send so many capital ships south.

After all, the pressure on coastal defense faced by the Daheng Empire and the safety pressure on navigation in the Endless Strait have always been relatively large.

Whether it is the Olisa or the Krull, if they see the opportunity, they will definitely not give up the opportunity to take the opportunity to beat the navy of the Great Heng Empire.

The Orissa are all good, and the navy of the Krull Kingdom has always had a tradition of sneak attacks.

As the world's largest power and the first navy, the Krull Kingdom does not care about the face of the world's largest power at all, and they have played many such sneak attacks in the past few decades.

Back then, the Klull Navy was attacked by the Krull Kingdom, which led to the annihilation of the entire army, which always reminded the navy of every country on the Blue Star, don't take the Krull Kingdom Navy lightly at any time, maybe the diplomats of the Krull Kingdom here are still chatting with you, but on the other side, their Krull Kingdom Navy has already launched a surprise attack on your military port.

For the notorious tradition of sneak attacks on the navy of the Krull Kingdom, the navy of the Great Heng Empire was naturally prepared for this.

Although there are not many battleships left, there are still two Jingzhou-class capital ships, two Fengyang-class improved armored cruisers, plus the Gaoqing capital ship, a total of five cutting-edge capital ships are left.

In addition, there are five Endless Sea-class capital ships, two Yonglin-class capital ships, and two Chongke-class armored cruisers, for a total of nine old low-freeboard capital ships to cooperate in the operation.

In addition, the Jinghe, the main ship of the full-rapid-fire gun, is expected to complete outfitting within this month, and it will be completely directly put into emergency service at that time, and it will be trained while conducting sea trials.

In addition to these capital ships, there were a large number of small and medium-sized ships left behind on the local side, as well as a large number of second-class protection cruisers, third-class reconnaissance cruisers, first-class destroyers, second-class destroyers, and third-class destroyers.

As for the world-famous A series torpedo boats in Dahengli, there are naturally even more, and there are more than 170 torpedo boats of various types deployed on the east coast alone, and more than 60 on the west coast.

Although the Daheng Empire has long made torpedo boats larger, and has successively developed first, second, and third-class destroyers, third-class destroyers of four or five hundred tons, second-class destroyers of five hundred to one thousand tons, and first-class destroyers of more than 1,000 tons, the development of the A series torpedo boats of tens of tons to two or three hundred tons has not stopped, and a number of improved models have continued to develop.

In terms of home defense, the Daheng Imperial Navy was still fully prepared.

In this way, the first mobile fleet can go south with peace of mind!

In order to be able to go south smoothly and avoid accidents, such as the sudden attack of the Orissa Empire and the Krull Kingdom to intercept the mobile fleet, the first mobile fleet did not go south along the coastline along the mainland, but directly passed through the more dangerous Dynaudio Bay because of its excellent ocean-going sailing performance.

The Endless Sea Strait is bordered by the Kingdom of Anna to the north, the Olisa Empire to the south, and the Danna Islands to the west.

Its East Tana Island is the most important naval base in the entire Central Continent and the Southern Continent, and the headquarters of the Western Fleet of the Krull Kingdom in the Endless Strait.

To avoid trouble, the 1st Mobile Fleet will pass directly through the middle of the Gulf of Tanner instead of sailing along the coastline.

It will sail all the way to the vicinity of the waters of the four countries on the east coast, and the Great Heng Empire has negotiated with the four countries on the east coast, and after paying some price, the four countries on the east coast have agreed that the fleet can temporarily dock in its north, that is, an ordinary port in the kingdom of Duze, for regular replenishment.

After regular replenishment, the fleet will continue south, eventually reaching the Ryan military base in the Orr Kingdom.

During the whole voyage, because only one regular supply was carried out in the Duze Kingdom in the four countries on the east coast, although this time the fleet going south was all ocean-going warships, and the endurance was very good, and its capital ships could run to the Orr Kingdom in one go, and some destroyers had poor endurance, but after a replenishment, it was enough to pass.

However, in order to avoid any accidents, and the risk of ultra-long-distance navigation is greater, so the fleet went south to carry a large number of supply ships, and at the same time, the Daheng Empire also arranged many supply ships along the way to provide emergency sea supplies for the fleet.

Fortunately, before the Daheng Imperial Navy, due to the lack of overseas bases, in order to expand its ocean-going combat capabilities, it has always paid great attention to replenishment at sea.

To this end, a large number of professional coal supply ships and comprehensive supply ships have been specially studied and built, and these supply ships are equipped with hoisting equipment, which can directly supply the warship with coal, ammunition and food and fresh water through hoisting operations in calm sea conditions.

And these supply ships are not cheap, not to mention professional equipment such as hoisting equipment, and in order to keep up with the sailing speed of the fleet, their power systems are all used in battleships, and the speed can reach about fifteen knots.

In terms of supply capacity at sea, I am afraid that the Great Heng Empire is the most powerful in this world.

There is no way, this is all forced out, although the Great Heng Empire has been busy with civil strife in recent decades, and has not expanded overseas, after this unification for a few years, it has only obtained a military base in the Orr Kingdom, and now the second one is strongly opposed by the Gafia Empire, which in turn led to a military conflict between the two sides.

In this case, there is no way for the Great Heng Empire to work hard to cultivate its ocean-going supply capabilities.

Relatively speaking, the naval supply capacity of the Krull Kingdom Navy at sea is not good, because people don't need it at all!

Their overseas military bases are located all over the world, and they don't need any supplies at sea.

When the Great Heng Empire's navy dispatched a large number of capital ships to the south, the Gafiya Empire was not idle, and they also made the decision to send fleets to reinforce the west coast.
