Chapter 781 The Wind Rises

More than ten days have passed since the transaction of the battleship, and this matter is not known to the outside world. Only one by one battleship passed through Malacca, which attracted the attention of the British and tracked along the way. It's a pity that their speed can't keep up with these warships with an average of thirty-one knots, and when they catch up with the Maldives, they can no longer be found, so they can only give up.

When the news of the group of battleships crossing Malacca reached the British mainland, it attracted great attention, and although it did not catch up at sea, Churchill did not give up tracking the garlic of this fleet, where there were huge battleships, and the owners of the behemoths would challenge their supremacy at sea.

The United States also received this news, and also spread the power in its hands, and arranged spies in the Suez Canal and Gibraltar to search for the whereabouts of this fleet and find the owner of this fleet.

They are also worried that their maritime authority will be challenged, and they must know which country the Ludao warship belongs to, otherwise, once they are enemies, they will suffer if they do not know the strength of the Ludao enemy.

And according to the news, the speed of this fleet is very fast, even the speed of the transport ships is not slow, and the light destroyers are being tracked at sea, and they are all lost, which shows the difference in speed.

Such a fleet will be uncertain at sea, difficult to lock, and once an enemy, it will be a terrible enemy.

Lao Xi's intelligence network is also not bad, and when Britain and the United States moved, they also spread a wide net to find this fleet.

Two days later, all the squatting forces received accurate information, and this battleship group of a dozen warships crossed Suez and entered the Mediterranean.

As soon as this news came out, various countries concerned about these countries took action one after another, and began to lock their eyes on Turkey, Italy, France, Spain and other countries, and even released their tentacles to the Black Sea, suspecting that it was the fleet of Soviet Russia.

These flagless fleets during the crossing of Malacca. The cannons made the British dare not intercept, and it also made them more eager to know the belonging of this fleet. They saw the majesty of the ships, none of which were sharper than the battleships of the Royal Queen Elizabeth class, and their speed was far greater than their 23 knots.

Soon, the mystery was not covered up for long, three days later. The fleet out of Suez appeared near Italian territory and went straight to Rome the next day.

Could it be an Italian battleship?

All eyes were immediately focused on Italy, wondering where their warships came from, these were not the warships they produced, and the color was different, it was silver-gray, which was not the same color as their warship. The most important thing is the speed of these battleships, which is not a skill that their country can achieve. For now. None of the countries was sure that the battleships would reach more than thirty knots.

Lao Xi was the first to get the answer, and when his eyes were focused on Rome, he received an invitation from Lao Mo to send someone to observe the new warship.

They are partners with reciprocal interests, and of course Lao Mo will not hide it from Lao Xi, so Lao Xi knows the origin of the warship. Zhilu explained the belonging of this fleet.

Paricino was the leader of the group when he got off the plane. It was when the battleship entered the secret military port. When he saw the huge hulls of King Kong and Kirishima, at the end, the Italian ingenuity secretly admired.

This is really a big deal, these warships are not 120 million can solve.

But he also didn't know what to do, there were two aircraft carriers, and six battleships were sold by Lao Mo, and the value of those two aircraft carriers could probably catch up with this fleet.

The moment he saw the battleship, his heart pounded. As the core figure of Lao Xi. Of course, he knew Lao Xi's plan. Italy is different from Japan, and its closeness to Japan is that one is to sell them materials and lathe equipment, and the other is to hope that they will contain Soviet Russia and make their side attack smooth. It's a pity for the Hereafter. Not only did Japan not contain Soviet Russia, but also loved you and focused on China, and they did not attract the United States, a strong enemy, otherwise, it is really difficult to say the direction of the war.

But at this time, the Japanese army also lost its role as an ally. They were defeated by China and were already too busy to take care of themselves, and once the advance army had the strength of the sea, it was estimated that the Japanese protection would not last long, and the whole territory would fall.

Italy, on the other hand, has their back, ensuring that their backs are not attacked. Italy's strength means they are safer.

After visiting the battleship and having dinner with Lao Mo, Paricino hurriedly took his leave. He had to report the situation to Lao Xi.

At the same time, Britain and the United States also learned that the fleet had entered the military ports of Italy. This gave them a lot of ideas.

The Queen Elizabeth-class battleships HMS Weary and HMS Valoran, and HMS Barham, which sailed slower than these ships, were all called home and hurried back from Korea.

The United States was also surprised, passing through the Pacific Ocean and passing through Malacca, and they did not know how to deal with such a fleet, and if they were to attack them, they would not be able to catch them, but they would only be beaten.

Although there is an aircraft carrier fleet, they also feel the pressure in the face of a fast-moving adversary. So, when the British fleet left Korea, they returned to Pearl Harbor and sent a large number of agents, hoping to obtain the boiler skills of the Italian battleships, and explain to Zhilu how they were so fast.

Dong Ku had not heard from him these days, and he did not know that there would be so many twists and turns in the warship he sold to Italy. The Huya soldiers also did not march fast, although they were faster than the Japanese army, only forty or fifty kilometers a day, and it was obviously not a matter of one or two days to catch up with the Japanese army that had pulled them hundreds of kilometers.

The exact location of the Japanese army was uncertain, and Dong Ku's army was not yet able to move. He couldn't follow the Japanese army all over the plateau, in that case, the battle would be a problem, and supplies alone would be enough for him.

Entering April, it seems that May is approaching, and the destination of the Japanese army does not seem to have arrived. Although Dong Ku was in a hurry, he had to wait for news. On the contrary, because of the quietness, he said that all the lines of defense were impregnable. If he doesn't attack, he simply defends, and he is sure to block the attack of any country.

Looking at the sky that was already a little warm, Dong Ku said helplessly: "It seems that it is a little difficult for us to eat the Japanese army who have been rushing all the way, I really don't understand why they went straight to Tibet?" ”

Zuo Boyang grabbed a handful of snow that was already like sugar, squeezed it into a ball, and struggled to get out of it, and then said: "The intention of the Japanese army to enter the barren land is very incomprehensible, could it be that it entered India from there?" ”

"I can't."

Dong Ku shook his head and said, "The British are not stupid, how can they lure wolves into the house?" It's their colony, and it's easy to let it in, but it's hard to get it away. And at present, it is impossible for the Japanese army to attack India, they can't afford to fight at all, there are no supplies to follow, they can fight a two-game attack, and they can't afford to consume bullets for a long time. ”

"yes, it's really puzzling."

Zuo Boyang shook his head and looked into the distance.

Dong Ku knew that the Japanese army must have entered Tibet, and the road they were traveling seemed to have been explored a long time ago. According to the report of the Huya team members, they saw a lot of simple graves along the way, and they opened it to see that they were Japanese soldiers. On the road, there were many Chinese laborers, as well as women, frozen in the snow and torn by animals.

This shows that they don't know about altitude sickness, or they don't know about it, and there is no good way to solve it.

And in this way, fighting on the plateau at an altitude of five or six thousand meters, he did not dare to say that his troops could adapt. So, that's where he's depressed. If the Japanese army really arrived in Lhasa, it would be a problem for him to pursue.

"Captain, if you really can't do it, let the Flying Tigers go up, it shouldn't be too much pressure to use the elite to deal with these Japanese soldiers who don't have heavy weapons, and it will be enough to use the bullets of the Japanese army."

Dong Ku retracted his gaze, thought for a while, and said: "There are more than 10,000 people in the Flying Tigers, and they also can't stand altitude sickness, so their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of ordinary soldiers, so it's really inappropriate to let them go." ”

"Altitude sickness...... Captain, what is altitude sickness? ”

This is the third time Zuo Boyang has heard Dong Ku say, and he finally couldn't help but ask.

Dong Ku was stunned, and after thinking about it, he understood where Zuo Boyang would know the term Lu Dao, so he patiently explained.

After listening to what Dong Ku said, Zuo Boyang understood how difficult the fighting conditions were and how sinister the environment was. also understood why Dong Ku did not give the order to send troops to track and strangle.

"The Japanese army actually put themselves to death, but in this way, it is indeed difficult for our army to pursue."

"yes. That's why I haven't ordered Sun Tao to send troops. ”

Dong Ku was somewhat helpless.

When they were talking about the Japanese army, the Japanese army was also miserable on the roof of the world.

Their survey team had already surveyed this line a few months ago, and most of the teams sent out to go died due to physical exhaustion along the way, and finally carried the radio up to the roof of the world. But the Japanese really didn't know that this was altitude sickness, and when they approached Naqu, fifty or sixty thousand soldiers had died on the road. Those laborers are even more unbearable, hundreds of thousands of laborers, now only less than half of them are left, and the rest are still out of breath and looking like they are about to fall at any time. Let them carry too much weight and not be able to walk at all. If they hadn't stolen some yaks along the way, they wouldn't have enough horses.

The last three or four hundred kilometers became the last straw that crushed the Japanese army. Along the way, more soldiers fell. At first, they still carried the soldiers who couldn't walk, but later, they couldn't lift them anymore, so they could only ensure that the supplies were not left behind, and let the soldiers who couldn't walk sleep on the road, and they couldn't even bury them.

This also made the team stretch for dozens of kilometers, and even fell behind for hundreds of kilometers. But the strikers can't stop, they know that if they don't rush to the densely populated area, they will have more people left here. (To be continued......)
