When the two sides continued to spread the Mandalay front line repeatedly, the fourth division and the first division were thrown into the Miandian. It was only an advantage and it was impossible to turn into a victory.

And the huge supply will make them difficult.

However, they did not choose this way. Instead, they invested nearly 100,000 elites in the Malay Peninsula, suddenly jumped out of the Geely people to set up the chessboard, and opened up the second battlefield!Play another game of chess by yourself.

In this way, as long as they conquer Malay, they can calmly choose the Miandian of Sadness or the neon lights south.And the supply problem can be solved by sea.

Expeditionary Force Command.

Barclays was transferred to Sudan to suppress the increasingly chaotic situation there. In the end, Chief of Staff John Miller took over the command. Even Gordon had to accept him. Fortunately, both of them were lieutenants. Otherwise, Gordon would be killed. Laugh out big teeth.

"Are they crazy? That unit, who fought several battles from southern Myanmar on the northern island of Myanmar in more than a month, has now appeared in Malay again. How did they do it."

"Malay is lost once they are lost. Once they control the Malacca Strait Empire, they will lose the throat between the sea and the Indian Ocean. I think we should abandon Mandalay and send a large army to support Malay."

"What if their troops in Miandian do not come to Mandalay, but instead attack Yangon, and then move west to India?"

"Are you a pig? If they attack Yangon, they will be as safe as their backs. They don't have large army artillery, and a decisive battle with us would be death."

"Yes! Only in Malay they can deliver supplies through the navy, and they don't know when the imperial navy will arrive. Then they won't dare to be arrogant."

A group of staff members were discussing, but did not put forward any substantive opinions.

"Okay! Now is not the time to discuss these things. We must solve the problem of the Malay Peninsula."

"Major General Carona! You take your headquarters to support the Malays. It is impossible to eliminate them through the army. We can only hope with the Royal Navy of the Empire?"

John Miller prevented meaningless discussions among those staff.

"Yes! Your Chief of Staff!"

Carolina turned dark, but still accepted the order.

Although he had a division under him, the battle at Qinchashan caused him a heavy loss. Now he can't even gather 10,000 people, but he also understands that too many troops cannot be deployed here.

Indian Ocean.

A fleet flying the Pozi flag sailed into the Strait of Johor.Dock in the sea between Kapo and Malay Peninsula.

The Geely Army assembled the maritime fleet and the Indian Ocean fleet, including three "Duke", "Wanderer" and "Pirate" three 6000-ton old iron armored ships.More than ten light and heavy cruisers such as "Carona" and "Gaululi".168 novel www.168jxs.com

However, three unfamiliar ship shadows appeared behind them, a huge "Geely Fleury White" class battleship Sea Fury, with a displacement of 11,800 tons, and two "God of War" and "Average" battlecruisers with a displacement of 7,500 tons.

Originally based on the navy’s understanding of Geely’s navy, even if their maritime fleet and the Indian-Ocean fleet were combined, they were inferior to those of the Qing Dynasty. Moreover, Geely had just gone through eight years of naval dark age. It has served more than eight years.

As a top student of the Royal Naval Academy of Geely, Liu Buchan knows these things very well.

He believes that among the Royal Navy warships in service in Geely at this time, they can threaten the "Dingyuan" class's residual armor. The latest warships are also two 8510 "Agamemnon" class built before 1876, and three are 11800. Tons of "Geely Fleury White" class, 9100 tons of "Poseidon" class.

But the speed of these warships was not as good as Dingyuan when they were built. Now they have been in service for many years, their speed will definitely drop, and even if they come here, he can lead the fleet away calmly.

The other battleships are all on the platform. Even if Geely has a strong shipbuilding industry and can start construction of more than ten battleships at the same time, the construction will take time.

As long as the elector does not fight the decisive battles with those fleets, that will help the invincible.

But after the Gaul War ended, Geely quickly realized that its naval power in the Far East was insufficient, and the Dingyuan-class ships they could not fight against.

Before working on the Miandian, the importance of the interests of the colony made them finally secretly start to build a new warship.

This "Geely Fleury White" class "Sea Fury" finally abandoned his original flashy 405MM breech gun and replaced it with a 305MM 26 times breech gun.There are as many as 12 190MM rapid-fire guns.

And the speed of these three battleships is 15 knots.

Although the main guns of the Ares and the Average are only 240mm, they are 35 times the caliber, which is 25 times and 26 times higher than the usual one. The length of the barrel can also increase the power of the bombardment.The power is also comparable to the bombardment above 300MM.

Originally, they were not at a disadvantage in terms of the number of ships. It was only because of the strength of the Hungry Dingyuan class that they were forced to take a defensive position and did not dare to take the initiative to attack.

The arrival of these three warships has greatly strengthened the strength of Geely's Far East Navy, making them, who were originally weak, have an advantage.

Carona never dreamed that the second day he was dispatched, the naval support force of the Empire would usher in.This immediately swelled his confidence that was almost zero.

After reading the data of these warships, he is more confident than ever, as long as his fleet can contend with, or even defeat, the navy.Then we can cut off the supply of Daqing.

As long as he persists, the army's supplies will not be able to keep up, and perhaps the record of blocking 90,000 elite troops with more than 30,000 people will appear in his hands.

Now even if he is as proud of him, he has to admit that the combat effectiveness of the Division A of the Qing Dynasty is already elite.

In order to prevent leaks, these warships did not stop at the best landing site in the battlefield, but chose the Strait of Malacca, which is the farthest from the battlefield and the Geely army has the strongest control...

Ten thousand people quickly disembarked, and the materials were quickly unloaded. A cruiser quickly left the team. He was the fastest in the entire Geely fleet. The 4,600-ton reminder of the mid-day "Mentor" actually reached 18 knots. Speed. ..
