Ahh

In the vast sea, there are seagulls hovering at low altitudes, although they are very good at flying, but they also need some footholds, at this time, some metal poles become their resting places.

"Watch out! Take a good look at our flanks! ”

John. Jericho, as a naval colonel in the British Empire, is ordering his men to be on standby.

No way, his pressure is not small, because he is in the ocean near South Africa at this time, although there has not been any war here before, but the warning of Lord Salisbury is still very worrying.

After all, it was one of the smartest people in the British Empire......

In other words, Jericho did not serve in this ocean, he was originally a member of the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Empire, and you will know it by name, this fleet was fighting in Europe against Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy.

And now, Jericho has been ordered to come to Africa, where he has to be wary of the clutches of the evil Pacific Empire, who are likely to attack!

For this matter, in fact, the main thing is the concern of His Excellency Salisbury, but it seems that it is still a good choice to guard against the Pacific Empire, although our two countries are now in an allied state, but the Pacific Empire is really too evil.

Originally, this empire contained the United States, which was originally the territory of our British Empire, and then these guys became independent, which caused our British Empire to suffer. And then there is that China, that country that has caused the commercial interests of our British Empire to suffer, and it has to be a last resort. We just started the war!

And now. That Pacific empire was the United States plus China. It's a collection of evil!

To be honest, Jericho also has some complaints about Salisbury, because he single-handedly promoted the alliance between the two countries, and in Jericho's eyes, that empire is obviously extremely evil, and it is obviously the country that makes our British Empire suffer.

Jericho's heart. It is enough to guard against the Pacific Empire, and Jericho attaches enough importance to this mission, and similarly, the British Mediterranean Fleet also attaches great importance to it.

6 search battleships!

You must know that the European battlefield at this time was a mess, the two sides were already fighting very fiercely, and there were hellish battles everywhere. And on the sea, oh no, it's not just the sea now. Submarines have been regularly used in actual combat, this new type of warship. It's a real headache because we can't find them!

But fortunately, the submarine has only just come out, and even the submarine of the Pacific Empire cannot sail more than 1,000 nautical miles.

Six battleships can be allocated from it, two of which are also the latest dreadnoughts built by the British Empire, which is definitely a powerful battleship, with a caliber of more than 380 mm for the main guns, which is not inferior to the Pacific Empire at this level of artillery.

In fact, Jericho is now the captain of the Victoria, the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet, and this ship has also come to South Africa.

So, it's definitely a task that is taken seriously enough!

"Absolutely keep South Africa safe, those bastards of the Pacific Empire, haha! If they dare to fight against our British Empire at sea, then let them taste our power! Jericho muttered silently in his heart.

It should be said that the British Empire still has a great advantage at sea, they claim to have never lost, anyway, it is true that they are the maritime hegemon of this era.

Before, because of the appearance of steel battleships, they almost lost the honor of being the overlord of the sea, but fortunately, they soon made their own steel battleships, and they were in place in one step, there was no such sail, all of them were steel.

The most powerful thing is that the British Empire quickly popularized this kind of warship, and the industrial strength of the British Empire is really super!

Jericho is well aware of his responsibility, but he is full of confidence, so he waits......

"General! Spotting the warships of the Pacific Empire ahead! ”

"Good! Command all to go into combat mode! ”

Sure enough, I met it, and Jericho also made such an arrangement unequivocally, this is to fight immediately?

First of all, there is a matter here, that is, why did the warships of the Pacific Empire appear in this sea area?

Obviously, they want to do something, but if not, why are you doing it? You didn't say anything about coming to the Friendship Visit, did you?

I have to say that Jericho's judgment is very accurate, and these warships of the Pacific Empire are indeed not good!

"Three!"

Soon, Jericho saw that his opponent had a total of three warships, and these warships should be the main force sent to South Africa by the Pacific Empire from the outside.

Jericho is not a fool, in fact, he has seen some information about the Pacific Imperial Navy a long time ago, and it should be said that those materials are very, very important.

That naval battle in New York was of little value at all, and what was really valuable was the Battle of Gulf of Tonkin!

In that naval battle, it really deserved the word 'big', and the number of warships dispatched by both sides reached more than 100, which is very amazing.

You must know that an all-steel warship costs a lot of money, and the man-hours are very long, and ah, in terms of size and displacement, it is also different, so there are more than 100 ships on both sides, which is simply ......

Let's not talk about the Japanese side, in fact, they only have one all-steel warship, and on the side of the Pacific Empire at that time, there were more than 70 warships participating in the war, so ......

Obviously, there is a lot of moisture in this number!

According to Jericho's personal estimates, among these 70 warships, the ones that can be called the main force, that is, the warships with a displacement of more than 10,000 tons, should not be many, no more than 10!

Because of the battleship of more than 10,000 tons, with the current production capacity, as well as the level of technology. It's still very difficult to build. A shipyard still has to have some strength. It will take at least a year or so, even though the Pacific Empire is very strong, the place is large, and there are many shipyards, but all kinds of export sales, and some other things, they can't have too many such behemoths.

Don't really say it, Jericho's estimate is quite correct.

At the time. The Battle of Tokyo Bay, which actually attracted a lot of attention, because this was the first large-scale confrontation of modern steel warships, and everyone wanted to see the true power of this new type of warship, so ......

Of course, Li Mengyang has to keep it a secret!

Fortunately, it is not easy for such a battle to be spread, after all, their side will not say it to the outside world, and Japan will not say it either, and they will soon be defeated, so so. Li Mengyang bragged to the outside world......

The reason why I want to blow it is because it can deter the traditional powers of Europe. After all, the British are very strong, and they are not weak chickens, especially at sea.

To be honest, there were only 8 battleships of more than 10,000 tons in the Pacific Empire at that time, and they were attacked by Japan before and lost one. The number 70 is a lot of small boats, there are torpedo boats, there are small frigates, anyway, the power is not small, not to mention the torpedo boats, even the frigate also has rapid-fire guns with a caliber of more than 100 mm.

But as soon as this blows out, the British side and the European side are much more honest......

And now, Jericho saw that two of the three ships in the ocean in the distance should be more than 10,000 tons, so he could immediately judge that it must be the capital ship of the Pacific Empire that came to South Africa this time!

It should be said that it really cost a lot.

"Prepare for battle!" Jericho was ready.

If these three warships can be annihilated in one fell swoop, then South Africa will have no problem for the time being!

……

"Is there finally going to be a war?"

Li Dongzheng was quickly wearing pants at this time, he was not bad, and many soldiers still had to wear **......

At this time, life at sea is like this, there is no way, everyone is dangling that thing.

"Yes! We're finally going to show what we're doing! ”

It was an officer who replied, but he spoke a strange Chinese, even though he looked exactly like a yellow man.

And this man has not finished speaking, "Gentlemen! The rise and fall of the imperial kingdom is a battle here! ”

This is ......

Well, this is Hai Shengzhou, he was originally an important figure in the Japanese Navy, but now Japan doesn't exist, does it?

By the way, it's from District 11, Hai Shengzhou is now a first mate on this Brooklyn, and he is quite content, after all, this time he is on the battlefield again.

The USS Brooklyn, as you can tell from the name, is not comparable to a giant ship like the USS New York, which has a displacement of about 15,000 tons, which is considered a medium-sized battle cruiser.

But the ship is relatively new, and like the Atlanta and the Vicksburg, which came to South Africa with them, they were launched last year...... The Empire is building ships like crazy!

"Comrades! Man your posts! ”

“YES-SIR！”

Not many people know the identity of Li Dongzheng, and the captain of this battleship is Bruno. Dupont, that is, Samuel Dupont's son, only he knows that he is the prince. Therefore, in peacetime, Li Dongzheng has the same drills and performs the same tasks as ordinary sailors.

Li Dongzheng is usually a very calm guy, and he seems to be a little indifferent to everything, but now, the atmosphere of the battlefield has rushed straight to his nose, and Li Dongzheng can't help but be a little enthusiastic!

Isn't it just for this moment to come to the army to exercise?

For the sake of the father, for the emperor's brother, brother and sister...... Ha ha!

Li Dongzheng couldn't help but laugh at himself, as if he was thinking too much......

Both sides are ready, so how is this battle going to be fought?

Flag Slogan!

It's a long way to go, and we can only communicate with each other in this way.

"This is the Pacific Imperial Navy! Idle people waiting to leave! ”

"This is the British Imperial Navy! You are violating our waters! ”

Obviously, chickens talk about ducks...... (To be continued.) )

PS: Thank you all for your support! Thank!

What, the governor of the Bank of Japan said, I hope we in China will not liberalize the RMB anymore, this is basically no different from kneeling and kowtowing, hehe
