"The last time there was a Fiji naval battle, I watched half the game from a high-altitude reconnaissance plane. The bones are scattered. This time it was also from the air, but it was much more comfortable! Cheng Dalong casually picked up a white enamel cup next to him, took a sip of hot coffee, and laughed loudly.

On warplanes, even those transports, it was rare for a cup of hot coffee to be served, but on the huge, smooth Kirov airship, coffee and tea were a common thing for the crew.

The timely logistical support of the vanguard army has never lacked all kinds of drinks.

China's tea production continued to be abundant, and in addition to Europe, when the war was raging with hard currency smuggling, there was also a large amount of surplus that was prioritized for the army.

Coffee from the Americas and Africa was exchanged for arms in large quantities, and as long as anyone could get used to these strange tastes, they could be supplied in rations according to military supplies.

All that's missing is an environment that you can easily enjoy.

Cheng Dalong felt even smoother on the airship than his Cleveland-class light cruiser, at least his captain's coffee in the room often spilled, and when the wind whistled through the bulletproof glass compartment in his ears, there was only a slight ripple in the enamel cup.

"Well, it's a little more horizontal, than our submarine!" Qian Chao didn't look back and held a cigarette in his mouth, looking at the clouds floating around him, greedily enjoying the sunshine shining on his body.

The foul air in the submarine is suffocating enough that no one will be allowed to smoke. Under the long hours of training and cruising under the sea, the sun is for the submarine officers and men. Definitely a luxury.

The training of China's submarine forces has even reached the Americas and Africa.

When submarine officers and men are at sea, in order not to be discovered, they dive at any time, and it is rare for them to run up to bask in the sun. Taking turns to relax on an accompanying supply cargo ship is already a pleasure.

The officers and men of the submarine had enough vacation. But few people waste these vacations on their usual leisure vacations.

It's a time of war.

Although China had carved out large areas of new land to the north and west, the maritime frontier was still under the control of others.

The Japanese fleet also regularly cruised in the East and South China Seas. As soon as relations between the two countries became strained, cargo ships destined for China were cut off, and the merchant ships of the allied countries were to be seized, except for ships from countries such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, and Sweden, which could be transported to China after being inspected.

The humiliation was especially felt by the officers and men of the submarines who used cows to quietly smuggle those forbidden materials.

In fact, if it weren't for the Japanese to bite the teeth of their sea monsters at the Americans, even Meng Xiang would not be able to resist the violent battleship and smash the Japanese fleet, which was still showing off its might.

At this time, the base already had the financial resources of the Great Storm Battleship. It's a pity that naval talent is not achieved overnight.

Meng Xiang can rely on the base to quickly pull out the most advanced battleships and aircraft carriers of this era, but he has to face the embarrassment of the scarcity of naval talents.

After the spy, pilot, tanker, etc. in the training center were divided, the clone naval elite simply could not form a powerful fleet.

It should be said that all kinds of talents are urgently needed in the training center.

Clone the spy in addition to allowing Meng Xiang to have a global layout. It is also always anticipating the enemy's opportunity, which has become the training center's first choice for training talents. In Meng Xiang's step-by-step chess pieces all over the world, they have always been in short supply.

The other clone elites have also become the spark of all systems and arms of the Chinese army.

The disciples of the clone flight elite have spread all over the sky of China, and the prestige of the Huaxia Air Force has spread all over the world.

The tank clones formed a series of steel lions from Indochina to the shores of the Arctic Ocean. There are traces of Huaxia steel tracks that have been crushed.

The numerous clone doctors have improved the field medical care system of the Pioneer Army, greatly reduced the mortality rate, and made groups of experienced veterans with glorious scars become another core pillar of the Pioneer Army.

The clone logistics elite run the vast and complex logistics system of the Vanguard Army. With the strictness and prudence of the anomaly and the human feelings of ordinary people, every screw on the Chinese war machine is guaranteed to operate normally.

It is their efforts. Only then did the vanguard successfully drive the Japanese out of the land of China and beat Lao Maozi, a polar bear, back to Europe.

With the help of China's huge population base and years of experience in war. First of all, the problems on land can be solved, and then we can talk about marching to the sea.

The clone elite naval officers have been sprinkling the fire on the entire Huaxia Navy, but even with the addition of ordinary naval elites, the strength still cannot be said to be strong.

If against the Japanese Navy. In the end, it was just a pyrrhic victory with the continuous support of the base. But then the more powerful Americans came, and how could the naval elite fight against the Chinese who had suffered heavy losses?

The smoke rising from the cigarette slowly dissipated, Qian Chao pinched out the cigarette butt, looked at the sea under the floating clouds and sighed: "Looking down from a high place, the vision is different, and the formation layout and changes below can be seen clearly." No wonder the military department arranged for us to observe this naval battle from the air! ”

Underneath the airship, Qian Chao had clearly recognized the 89-meter-long huge figures of the two I-400-class submarines.

He once personally commanded such a huge submarine Huaxia to deliver arms to Latin America, and when he returned, he also brought back some large equipment from the west coast of the United States.

With an underwater displacement of 6,560 tons, the largest submarine in the world at this time is very conspicuous, and it also seems that the four XXI submarines behind it are much thinner.

For Qian Chao, who is familiar with the main force of the Huaxia attack submarine, he can still distinguish it with the naked eye. And see their queue at a glance, and even those white wave lines are clearly visible.

Even though the I-400 class submarine has two huge spaces side by side, it is only loaded with a large number of underwater and surface observation instruments to carry out the task of collecting data, and the military department has no intention of using them as observation platforms.

Far ahead of the direction they were traveling, the intelligence of the vanguard army showed that the main battleships of the Americans would once again engage in a gladiatorial battle at sea with the Japanese South Pacific Fleet.

In the collision range of two powerful fleets full of aggression, even submarines dare not get too close, and can only use instruments to measure all kinds of data from a distance, not to mention surface ships that are likely to be attacked by both sides as enemies.

Comparatively speaking, it is safer in the air. This time, the safety of more than 100 elite officers of the Huaxia Navy arranged by the military department, and no one dared to be negligent.

The last aerial observation was incomplete in terms of safety and other aspects.

This time, the military department specially arranged three second-class Kirov airships to conduct high-altitude on-site observation of the entire battle against the US and Japanese fleets.

Kirov, who can fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters, is not afraid of the attacks of those stray bullets at all, and the high-altitude telescope can clearly observe the every move of the ships below.

……

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack ......" Jerry threw down his binoculars and shouted in panic that he was about to pull up the air raid siren, and he received a violent blow on the head.

"Idiot, that's the Chinese airship!" Lieutenant Wilson, who was beside him, scolded.

By the time the Kirov airship emerged from the clouds in the sky, the American reconnaissance planes had already spotted them.

Kirov greeted them very politely, and Nimitz, who was personally in charge of the battleship Iowa, finally understood the intention of the Chinese to send a military observation mission.

He did not wait for the Chinese observation group to board the American ship, and made a fuss for a long time, but it turned out that he was observing through a high-altitude airship.

Nimitz immediately realized the role of the airship in long-term high-altitude reconnaissance, and immediately asked for the help of the Huaxia people to assist in the search for traces of the Japanese naval fleet.

Although Zhao Xingbiao, the captain of the Wen Tianxiang airship who led the command of the airship this time, agreed with his mouth, he did not tell Nimitz that the other Zhang Liang, which was used as a signal transfer station, had discovered the whereabouts of the Japanese fleet.

"Good fellows, the Japanese Southern Fleet is almost at its best!" Zhao Xingbiao smiled as he handed the size of the Japanese fleet and the coordinates of its appearance to Officer Chen, the commander of the navy on the side.

"They were originally going to capture Sydney, and it's normal for them to come out!" Chen Guan took the information and smiled.

This time, the Japanese army and navy cooperated to capture Sydney, and the forces of the three divisions had already attacked Newcastle. The Japanese Navy also sent a powerful fleet, both to cooperate with the army's offensive and to seize Sydney, a rare and rich city in Australia. At the same time, they also came against the support fleet of the Americans.

The two Montana-class super battleships of the Americans were advertised to everyone, and their whereabouts had long been under the surveillance of the Japanese.

Of course, the Japanese did not know, and their whereabouts were also exposed to the surveillance of the Chinese.

Zhang Liang easily scanned each battleship from a high altitude through a large-aperture telescope, and its own professional personnel compared them one by one, analyzing and recording their names, models, and performance.

"The Japanese actually dispatched three Yamato in one go, which came specifically against the Americans' super-battleships. The leader is the Yamato, so wouldn't Yamamoto Fifty-six also come? Chen Guan looked at the information little by little, and couldn't help but be moved.

"In this way, the Americans are going to suffer. We don't need to remind them? Zhao Xingbiao said with a smile. After all, at this time, Huaxia had declared war with Japan, and Zhao Xingbiao didn't want Japan to be better from the bottom of his heart. Although the Americans were not allies, he did not mind taking advantage of this to make the Japanese suffer more.

"The military department has already said that we are just observing, not medling!" Chen Guan knew more, and after a slight pause, he said, "Which of them wins or loses, it doesn't matter much to us!" (To be continued......)
