Macho Wars

Two weeks later, the second batch of Imperial Expeditionary Forces, led by Lieutenant General Henry Martini, finally arrived at the Zhibo Dan Islands in a mighty force.

The entire fleet consists of 20 transport ships and six naval escort warships. The flagship Sovereign is the latest generation of battleships in the Imperial Navy. It has a full displacement of nearly 30,000 tons and is equipped with four twin-mounted 305mm main guns.

If this data indicator is on the earth, it may be inferior to the early dreadnoughts in the early twentieth century, but placed here, it represents the highest crystallization of military technology in the current world.

After the fleet arrived, they entered the strait directly under the lead of the receiving ship. The maidens on Ryonggong Island had been notified in advance to find a hill with a good view on the shore to visit the mighty and mighty imperial fleet.The towering monarchy has left a deep impression on these witches who do not understand the outside world.

After the display with obvious warning nature, Lieutenant General Henry led a ticket entourage to board the small boat to the island, and saw Dragon, who had been waiting for a long time.

Henry had received a report from the advance troops more than half a month ago that they had encountered an attack by an unknown force on the Unknown Islands.A transport ship was sunk by the enemy during the battle. The commander, Colonel Anakin, died, and Dragoon, the second in command, fell into the water and disappeared.

This series of bad news once made the colonial military district leaders think that their revenge plan had been exposed, and the kingdom's military first deployed an ambush in the Unknown Islands.

Fortunately, the situation gradually became clear after that, the attackers were local indigenous people, not the Kingdom Army.The other party seemed to have some very powerful weapons, and major intelligence errors caused the main reason for this tragedy.

Later, Dragon, who had been missing for nearly half a month, was miraculously resurrected and brought back good news.He successfully penetrated into the enemy, instigated some local natives, and took refuge in the empire with the weapons they possessed.

Henry was skeptical about this, but when he saw the appearance of the "indigenous people", he suddenly showed an expression that he understood everything.

"Boy, you are very good at using your strengths!"

"You are absurd, General."

Counting the rebellious maidens who have surrendered, there are still 751 people on Dragon Palace Island.

Although there had been conflicts between the two sides before, more than two hundred imperial soldiers were killed and a colonel was joined.But these blood debts have all been counted on Shinano, and because these witches surrendered with good things, the empire naturally showed a little more generosity.

Under the guidance of Dragoon, Henry took a car to the Central Airport and visited fighter jets and various (WWII) weapons from the earth.

When Henry learned that these planes could carry weapons and ammunition weighing up to half a ton, flying at a high speed of 500 kilometers per hour, his face could not hide his surprise.As a senior general, Henry knew what this meant.

And not only the heavy weapons, but the light weapons used by the indigenous people on the island are also slightly better than the standard firearms of the Imperial Army.

Henry had no idea that there were so many "black technology weapons" hidden on a remote island that was not well known, and he couldn't help being very puzzled.

"Major, have you made it clear who made these weapons? I think the natives on the island do not seem to have this ability."

"When I first came here, I had the same doubts as you. These weapons seem to have been brought to the island by a group of mysterious outsiders a hundred years ago. The local aborigines call them divine envoys and teach some simple techniques. For these islanders, let them have their current appearance."

"Then where are these so-called divine envoys now?"

"Fifty years ago, they were almost dead. Only some of the offspring who intermarried with the locals remained. They established a system where women use these powerful weapons to protect the islanders from foreign invasion. Ours The intelligence department knew nothing about this, and the vanguard hit the gun without any defense."

"Hehe, don't mention our intelligence door."

Dragon and Henry exchanged tacit glances, and the two continued to visit some places, and finally came to the top of the east bank, overlooking the two aircraft carriers.

It was the first time for Henry to see this kind of 10,000-ton giant ship. At first he didn't understand why the flat roof was used. It was not until Dragon explained the definition of an aircraft carrier that Henry didn't understand. nod.

"A mobile base on the sea?"

"The general positioning is indeed like this. I have personally experienced an air strike and know the despair of being helpless. If we can imitate these fighters and aircraft carriers, I believe this will make our army a long time in the future. Have an absolute advantage in time!"

Chapter 153 Area 11

After the visit, Henry did not return to the battleship Sovereign, but chose to stay on the shore to have dinner with his soldiers.

As a high-ranking general and a first-class marquis, Lieutenant General Henry has always been approachable and loved by the officers and soldiers of the colonial military area.

Dragon accompanied Henry, lined up to get a general soldier's food from the window of the battle canteen, and then found a table in the tent area to sit down.

Henry beckoned to his orderly at this time, and the other party immediately took a delicate water bottle out of his bag.Henry smiled and watched the other person unscrew the lid of the kettle, and a scent of wine suddenly filled the air.

"A little bit of military officer's privilege, Major Li, do you want to come?"

"my pleasure."

Henry generously asked the orderly to pour a full glass of Dragon. The two touched and Dragoon took a sip, and found that it was just a very ordinary rum with a slightly sweet taste and nothing special.

Henry seemed to see what Dragon was thinking, and asked Dragon with a smile.

"Major Li, do you know alcohol?"

"Honestly, I don't know much, so I just have two drinks with my friends occasionally. I don't like getting drunk."

"I don't like getting drunk, okay! A good soldier should keep a clear head at all times. This is a good habit. I don't like getting drunk, but drinking can remind me of the good old days."

Henry shook his glass, then turned his head to look around the officers and soldiers who had become very reserved because of the presence of senior generals, suddenly laughed.

"Speaking of it, Major Li. You are stationed in the powder pile with such a large group of stinky boys, you should have done some good deeds of getting close to the water, right?"

"Uh...this..."

"Haha, don't be shy! I didn't say that I wouldn't let you guys relax."

Henry came to kiss as a "driving school instructor", joking with Dragoon with great interest.

The two had dinner and walked around the quaint and quiet shrine.Henry revealed to Dragon that the colonial government has formally decided to include the unnamed islands in the territory of the empire and renamed the 11th district of the colony.

After this revenge operation is over, the colony will send corresponding officials and garrisons.

As for whether the local islanders are willing to accept rule from the empire, it is not a question that the arrogant Sidneys will consider.

In view of the fighter jets mentioned in the previous report by Dragoon, the "black technological weapons", the senior military leaders currently have two main attitudes.

One is to find it very interesting and worthy of research, and the other is to dismiss it, believing that Dragoon's report is just an excuse for the advance forces' mistakes and make up some sensational stories.

The arrogance in the bones of some empires made them disbelieve, or rather unwilling to accept, that there will be weapons beyond the technological level of the empire on a barbarous island in the open sea.

Henry also held a wait-and-see attitude at first, but now he has seen the real thing, even if he hasn't actually seen the fighter plane flying up and flying in the sky at a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, he also believes Dragon's report.

But the problem now is that whenever a powerful new weapon is born, the armed forces with this weapon will first have internal disputes or disagreements.

Just like when the airship was first born, the navy and the army were eager to fight for the ownership of this new weapon. Finally, the airship unit was forced to become an independent army, subject to the joint control of the navy and army.

And for the aircraft that has just been obtained, it will not be possible to judge the prospects of this weapon and whether the empire has the ability to imitate and use it until the technical department sends someone over for evaluation.

Therefore, Henry, who was standing on the side of the Army, planned to take some "precautionary" measures and was ready to let an aviation research institute in the colony take over the evaluation work.

Dragon immediately understood that the colonial military area was preparing to set up a project for the development of "new weapons".

In the scientific research establishment of the empire, the Central Advanced Institute of Technology in the capital is undoubtedly the existence at the top of the pyramid, with the most talents and the most sufficient research funding, and the research is also on the most advanced high-end projects of current technology.

In terms of status purely, the Advanced Institute of Technology is completely above the military, and even the Senate must respect three points.

Therefore, for many military projects that the Institute of Advanced Technology participates in research, the military is often only responsible for the use of evaluation and cannot make corresponding requirements at the design stage. This has led to some subtle unhappiness between the two parties.

So in order to satisfy the pleasure of being a "Party A's father", the military began to fund or set up some scientific research institutions for military development such as light weapons and transportation vehicles.
