Chapter 1319 Coastal Strike
The sudden bad news instantly wiped out Charlie Krumbell's drunkenness.
At that time, he was about to get up, and one of them stood unsteadily and sat down on the seat behind him with a 'pop'.
"No, my mind is so messed up..."
The left hand subconsciously supported his forehead. At this moment, Charlie Krumbell only felt that his entire brain was a mess.
"The southern port was attacked by an unknown fleet? The navy of the Celestials?! The fleet I sent before..."
Thinking of Charlie Krumbell here, the originally not-so-good-looking face was even more difficult to see at this moment.
And this seaside port attack has to start from before...
The Yangtze Fleet on the sea, after successfully destroying the enemy's steel fleet, found the chart from the supply fleet at the rear.
Yuan Xi, who had thoroughly confirmed the enemy's position, naturally had no scruples after that.
However, their fleet, after all, sailed around the sea area around the battlefield map. Therefore, even if the target location was clear, it still took a lot of time to detour to the rear of the enemy empire.
Afterwards, the enemy's seaside port was locked, and Yuan Xi's Yangtze Fleet naturally launched shelling directly from the sea without mercy.
It was said earlier that in the face of the coastal attack from the sea fleet, the side that was deprived of the naval combat power basically had no ability to resist.
After several rounds of shelling, the Yangtze Fleet, which had forcibly destroyed the port defenses, began to land.
There is no doubt that the Yangtze Fleet is not only equipped with naval combat power. Considering the needs of subsequent landing operations and occupation, therefore, such expedition warships are naturally equipped with army combat power. A unit is generally called the Marine Corps!
For a city that is close to the sea, the sea is simply a natural barrier, because in the player's own territory, there are basically no native enemies at sea, and even if they do, it is impossible to beat them.
Therefore, aside from natural disasters such as tsunamis, cities by the sea are comfortable most of the time, and there is no need to send too many troops to garrison, and a small fleet is enough to deal with everything.
And now, this comfort is obviously completely broken...
How could a small fleet in the area be the opponent of the Yangtze River fleet? They were almost crushed to death with ease.
The Marine Corps of Wanjie Civilization quickly landed and rushed into the port that was about to be bombarded into ruins.
The garrison in the city wanted to resist, but how could the ordinary cannon, firepower and range be better than the main gun on the battleship? That is the real heavy firepower!
After a shelling, they directly deprived them of their resistance.
The overwhelming advantage brought by the Yangtze River Fleet made this coastal attack go very smoothly, almost occupying this coastal city at a blitz-like speed.
Charlie Krumbell is really slack, although it is possible that his coastal city has not had any accidents in the past few decades, so he thinks that he does not need to invest too much money and manpower and material resources in this area. , but it cannot be denied that he is now paying for it.
Defensive facilities have always paid attention to a well-prepared one. This is the same as raising an army. It is such a principle to raise an army for a thousand days and use it for a while.
Of course, the offensive of the Yangtze River Fleet cannot stop there.
After quickly replenishing supplies in that coastal city, they soon further launched their raids on other coastal cities.
There is no doubt that this entire coastline city, in their opinion, is already a lamb to be slaughtered. According to Yuan Xi's plan, they will definitely not let one go.
By the time Charlie Krumbell received this news, the artillery fire of his second coastal city had been completely ignited!
"Build a battleship! Send the order, hurry up and build a battleship for Lao Tzu!"
Inside the gorgeous palace, Charlie Krumbell roared slightly out of control.
The recent series of bad news has made his mood extremely unstable.
The main fleet that was sent out before is obviously hopeless, and nine times out of ten, it has all been wiped out.
Now that the enemy's steel fleet has rushed under his nose, if he can't form a fleet to fight back, then facing the enemy's sea fleet, he can only stand and be beaten!
Feeling the irritable mood of their great emperor, all the ministers standing below were sweating profusely.
Originally, at such a time, if their great emperor wanted to build a battleship, the Minister of Finance would definitely be the first to come out and cry poor, but now, he has no such courage.
After all, if he was angered at this juncture, there was really only a dead end.
But there are some things, even if you have to bite the bullet...
"Great, Great Emperor, to build a battleship, at least it will take two or three years. According to the current situation, I am afraid it is too late."
The one who spoke at this time was the Minister of War and Government, and he was considered to be one of the most important ministers under the command of Charles Klumbel.
"Then what do you say, what do you say?!"
Faced with this question directly thrown by their emperor, the Minister of Military and Political Affairs spoke quickly after a little pondering...
"Great Emperor, according to Wei Chen's opinion, the coastal area should be prepared for a long-term war of resistance. It is better to let the shipyards in other coastal cities step up the production of destroyers. First let us have a certain number of warships, and the formation of the fleet is the most important thing. As for the problem of insufficient firepower, we can take the way of fighting, mainly to buy time, not to fight with the other party, and then let the shipyard build heavy firepower battleships as much as possible to make up for the firepower in the time gained. flaws."
Hearing this proposal, after a little thought, Charlie Krumbell also felt that this was a feasible solution, so he quickly accepted the proposal.
"Okay, let's do it like this, let the shipyards everywhere implement it immediately..."
Speaking of which, he paused for a moment as if he had remembered something, and then spoke again...
"Besides that, all the fishing boats and civilian boats of sufficient size will be recruited! After the improvement, they will be put into military use! There are also mines, and they will all be arranged for me!"
The orders were quickly implemented. The small warships improved from civilian ships and fishing boats must be far worse than the serious warships in terms of comprehensive combat power, but the current situation is better than none. it is good.
After sweeping three coastal cities in a row, the minefields laid out by Europa could be said to be the first to have an impact on the Yangtze Fleet.
I have to say that this simple and rude method is indeed useful. Although the experienced water lizard warriors can dismantle those mines, this move of the opponent still greatly affects the sweeping efficiency of the Yangtze River Fleet.
