Just imagine how could the Saar Empire let the Cossack Empire fleet pass in this situation? If they kill a resurgence, they will not leave the Sinai Canal area. Such an important waterway will be thrown away. This is the supreme Saar Empire.

I don't want to see it.

The current Sar Empire is highly dependent on the supply of agricultural and mineral products in the colonies of the Khanxi Kingdom. Once the Sinai Canal is cut off, it is equivalent to jamming the neck of the Sar Empire, causing them to be careful.

Since the Sinai Canal is not allowed to pass, it is meaningless to enter the Mediterranean. The Cossack Navy can only continue to sail south. They are ready to bypass the entire southern subcontinent. In this way, the Cossack Navy's journey has increased by more than 10,000 nautical miles out of thin air.

Time in the Eastern Continent has been delayed again.

With enough time, Fang Xiaoyu would not wait for the other side to fight. The Chinese Defense Army expanded its troops while fighting. Not only did it make up for the losses of each unit, Fang Xiaoyu also rewarded Xue Boling, who had made great contributions.

He was promoted to Lieutenant General and ordered him to form the Third Army of the Defense Army.

The troops surrounding Kuli City have also made adjustments. Anyway, the Cossacks have few troops left and there are no heavy weapons. Fang Xiaoyu believes that as long as there are three infantry divisions and artillery cooperation, it is enough to make the opponent move.

The only thing that is worrying is that the Cossack army still has more than 20,000 cavalry. In order not to let these cavalry go out of the city to raid the defense army, the Chinese leading military recruited a large number of local Cossack men and dug up the entire city of Kuli in a short time.

The entire trench system not only has horizontal trenches for besieged cities but also vertical trenches for traffic.

Such a defense system greatly hindered the activities of the Cossack cavalry. Fang Xiaoyu praised Su Zhizhen after learning about this decision. He even drew some snipers from the Iron Blood Army and the Special Operations Army to allow these snipers to enter the trench

System, sniping the Cossack soldiers on the top of the city wall.

The fighting style of these snipers was very effective. They shot the Cossack soldiers with precise shooting, and the Chinese artillery bombarded the city. This made Romanov completely scared and he simply shuddered completely.

In the city, I no longer think about breaking through.

With the three divisions of the First Army and the artillery division suppressed the Cossacks in Kuli City, the defense army could free up more personnel. The three divisions of the Second Army and the First Division of the Iron Blood Army immediately began.

He divided his troops to sweep the territory of the Cossack Empire, advanced to the territory of the Cossack Empire, and occupied a large area of ​​territory.

In order to implement the policy of seizing territory, Fang Xiaoyu allocated all the horses that could be mobilized in the Chinese territory to various troops. The new logistics policy that began after the last war played a huge role, and tens of thousands of horses and a large number of carriages were sent to

In Cossack territory, in this area with backward infrastructure, these carriages played a huge role, transporting supplies to the army and helping to transport immigrants. The defense army's invasion ability was greatly strengthened, and the attack on the Cossack Empire became even more fierce.

Fang Fang Xiaoyu's strategy is well aware of the East China trip. As long as the local population structure changes, this place will become a new territory for the Chinese territory. For this reason, he also puts policy towards this place and has introduced a large number of immigrants who have just entered the Chinese territory.

Here, the engineering team and the Cossack civilians gathered by the military were allocated to build settlements with solid walls for the immigrants. Fang Xiaoyu also ordered the distribution of guns to them, the establishment of militia organizations, and the defense of themselves.

In this way, Fang Xiaoyu relied on the number of immigrants to divide the Bo Cossacks in the local area, and the Chinese banned the local Cossacks from possessing weapons. With the rise and fall of one another, the situation in the newly occupied areas was quickly stabilized.

The regional garrison can free up its hands to continue to attack the next area. They began to erode the territory of the Cossack Empire bit by bit. In just half a year, the Chinese territory had occupied nearly 300,000 square kilometers of the Cossack Empire and was surrounded.

Cooley City became a large rear.

At this moment, good news came from Xu Shouchang, and the four new warships of 14,000-ton class that were first built were finally launched and delivered for use.

The new "Lanting" class battleships are different from the wooden hulls wrapped in iron armor in the previous iron armor ships. These warships were the first batch of truly all-steel warships, so they are no longer called iron armor ships, but are named as battleships by Fang Xiaoyu.

This class of battleships has a displacement of 14,000 tons. The main gun uses the newly developed 330 mm hydraulic tube retracted main gun, and uses a double-mounted turret. The second-level main gun is evenly distributed.

Door 152 mm rapid-fire cannon.

In order to ensure insurance, its armor protection adopts a comprehensive defense concept. The armor thickness is 450 mm, and it uses the nickel-cadmium alloy steel, which is unique to China. Even the horizontal deck armor that countries do not pay attention to, Fang Xiaoyu has laid three layers of laying

The layer is 120 mm thick in total.

Although this class of warships were equipped with such heavy armor, their speed could reach 18 knots, because the ship used the latest eight small water pipe boilers and three three-expanded steam engines to make the ship's power reach 10,000.

One thousand horsepower.

In addition, in order to increase the seaworthiness of the warship and reduce the roll of the shelling of the hull, the warship was also equipped with keels and slosh fins. In short, Fang Xiaoyu was optimized according to his unfinished model, the "June Power" class battleship

The 'Lanting' class battleship was built.

In addition to the first ship of the 'Lanting' class battleship was specially named "Lanting" by Fang Xiaoyu to commemorate the Lanting Villa where he started his career, the other three ships were named "Tongshan" and "Far East" respectively after the names of the three Chinese counties.

, 'Xing'an' number.

The appearance of these four warships marked that all the ironclad ships in the past were outdated. Seeing these four huge warships, the naval officers and soldiers who came to participate in the launch ceremony were extremely excited.

At the launch ceremony, Fang Xiaoyu immediately announced that he would appoint Liu Junguo as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Territory Navy, Zhang Haiyang as the chief of staff, and Zhang Xiaobing, Qu Jintao, Jiang Pingxian and Guo Yu as the captains of the newly built four battleships.

Wan Yong and three other gunboat captains were promoted to cruiser captains due to their merits, responsible for commanding the "Tongjiang" commanded by Zhang Haiyang, as well as the five newly built improved cruisers, and six torpedo boats joined the active service.

Liu Junguo and others were sacked because they were scapegoats and were already full of resentment towards the imperial government. Fang Xiaoyu was not afraid of the future if the emperor wanted to curb himself, they would do anything in their fleet.

With the example of Liu Junguo and others, the naval officers and soldiers who had just joined us greatly encouraged. With these examples, these people can be more at ease and can integrate into the Chinese territorial navy group more quickly.

Although Liu Junguo was Liu Junxi's brother and there was no risk of rebellion, there were still necessary precautions. Among these former imperial navies, a large number of deputy and key departments had installed personnel from the former Chinese territorial navies.

With frequent communication with each other, the naval officers and soldiers from the two systems quickly merged and quickly formed combat power. The Chinese territorial navy, which originally lacked its foundation, finally had a relatively powerful force through this talent gain. At least in

The Eastern Continent is already quite powerful.

Time is tight, and the Chinese territorial navy immediately began adaptive training after the new warships joined the active service, and conducted relatively detailed sea tests on the new warships to cope with the upcoming Cossack Empire Expeditionary Fleet.

As a lord, Fang Xiaoyu cannot participate in these actions. He only needs to leave such things to the people below to do. His vision must be long-term and grasp the general direction. Therefore, in addition to ordering the army to step up the action.

He began to prepare for the establishment of a military academy in the territory.

Fang Xiaoyu understood that as his power grew, there was an increasing demand for all kinds of talents, especially military talents, and in the face of increasingly strong demand, it was unrealistic to rely solely on external input.

You must have a place and mechanism to cultivate talents.

In the past, Fang Xiaoyu had always been very jealous of the two major military academies of the empire. Now the China-led scientific research and basic talent training bases are already available. What is missing is the place to cultivate military talents. For this reason, Fang Xiaoyu decided to establish Songjiang Army School in Tongjiang Fucheng.

, and established the Vladivostok Naval School in Vladivostok Port.

In addition to allowing active-duty officers to serve as visiting lecturers, Fang Xiaoyu also poached people in the Imperial Army and Naval Academy. Because Fang Xiaoyu gave a very high salary, many teachers and professors resigned and came to China to teach.

Now the Chinese lord's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Emperor Xiahou has a very good impression of Fang Xiaoyu. The two universities do not dare to offend this powerful lord obviously, and they also open up Fang Xiaoyu's obvious behavior of poaching

Close your eyes at once, it is a default.

Fang Xiaoyu didn't want to offend the royal family too much, and it was enough to poach talents. These people mainly deal with the recent teacher gap. As for a bigger supplement, Wu Feng still needs to poach people in the Western Continent and New Continents.

Military academy is for the long-term development, and the current military threats are also necessary. Fang Xiaoyu found Holland, who has been idle. With the electric motor, Einstein's laboratory recently invented high-performance lead and zinc.

Battery, with such a battery, the construction of submarines can finally be put on the agenda.

He could start the research he liked, which made Holland extremely happy. He immediately devoted himself to the design of the submarine.

Fang Xiaoyu, who used to pay attention to surface ships, was not proficient, so he could only instill some vague ideas about submarines such as pressurized water tanks, water droplet hulls, hybrid power and horizontal wings, etc., into the vague concepts he knew about submarines.

Holland asked him to study it himself.
