Chapter 163 All crowded together!

- On the dark sea, a bright color suddenly jumped out of the horizon, as if a star falling from the sky, integrated into the dark background.

Le Fei (provided by the book friend "Dě Feiqi") stood in the bridge of the USS Honolulu, with a serious look, cold eyes, and a body more like a javelin that will never bend. Even if this guy has a lovely baby face, he is by no means a reassuring master who can please girls.

Because it seems that there are always four big words on that face. Don't get close to strangers!

Among the many captains of the Pacific Fleet, this guy is an absolute alternative! He is quiet and almost paranoid when doing things seriously. Of course, this is not the reason why he gave the whole staff a headache.

As a young Chinese born in France, after hearing about the rise of a Chinese regime in Hawaii and recruiting naval personnel around the world, he kicked the first mate on the French freighter who worked. He came here without hesitation, and with excellent results, he entered the first batch to go to Britain two months later. Dispatched students from the Royal Naval Academy of Lindsay.

The rise is amazing, but the fall is also funny.

This guy is talented. Even when he was studying abroad, he was favored by the Mediterranean Fleet of the British Royal Navy, but this bastard went to the Mediterranean Fleet for less than three months as an internship. Just because his officer scolded the Far East monkey, he beat him up!

The most funny thing is that the major general of the Mediterranean Fleet scolded himself!

But after returning to Honolulu, this guy faced the investigation of the staff and the fleet headquarters at the same time, but he was not ashamed to feel guilty. I can't scold myself. It's a descendant of the pre-Qin Dynasty. If you want to scold, you can only be scolded by the Chinese!"

I have a splitting headache!

In the face of such a tricky guy, Chen Ping finally had to find Master Li to find a way. In the end, Li Mo beat him and let him cross the class to be the captain of the test ship Honolulu.

Although the Honolulu is only a test ship and has not been included in the combat sequence, it is the captain after all!

But the problem doesn't seem to be over yet. This guy led the test ship, but he regarded it as a battleship. Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to sea for a long time to carry out the test, he conducted a simulation exercise at two ends in three days. The large amount of training was only for the reserve sailors to complain bitterly.

The most serious thing is that this guy completely ignored a large number of new experimental equipment on the ship. In the long load test of the steam turbine a few months ago, despite the reminders of the engineers, he completely blew up the two mainframes in the long-distance test from Honolulu to Johnston Island. Fortunately, the wires on the ship were not broken. Finally, Long Guozhang I had to send two tugboats to bring them back!

The captain put down the phone and couldn't help but feel numb when he thought of his captain's ability to toss around. He didn't know if he should report the situation. You know, since the young master boarded the ship from Guam, the captain immediately issued a series of wartime orders, such as adding watchtowers, light control, and artillery 20. Four-hour duty and so on.

"Report, engine cabin report, one steam turbine is overheating, and it needs to be stopped and checked immediately." The captain hesitated for a moment and decided to report it.

Le Fei raised his eyebrows slightly, turned his head and stared at the captain's eyes, and asked, "Didn't they all be repaired before departure?" Seeing Le Fei's eyes, the captain shivered: "The engineer said that it may be related to the speed."

"The speed is too fast!"

"If we are chasing the enemy or rushing to the war zone, does he also want me to slow down!" Le Fei sneered and looked at his watch.

The captain also frowned. If the two steam turbines are at full speed, the speed of the Honolulu can reach 22 knots, but if one is reduced, the speed will be reduced to 15 knots. This gap is very big, and the young master's order is to rush back to Honolulu as soon as possible.

"Slow down and tell the ship engineer that there are still five hours before dawn. I don't care what he uses, I must repair it before dawn." After careful consideration, Le Fei gave the order to slow down.

The voyage breathed for a long time and immediately picked up the phone.

Turning his head and looking at the bright starry sky, Le Fei took a deep breath. What happened? Can the young master end his trip to Nanyang ahead of schedule? Could it be that the size of the fleet sent by the Russians exceeded expectations?!——

The whirring sea breeze poured into the rest cabin along the cracks along the edge of the window. Even though the whole section was in the tropical area, it still made Li Mo feel a little chilly and immediately closed the porthole. The heavy curtain was put down again.

Since Lefei has issued an order to control the lights, even he should not violate it, so he specially ordered people to add a thick curtain to the porthole to minimize light leakage.

The sound of ticking telegrams came from outside several cabins. Duan Fei and several communication officers were already very busy. Even Du Dazhuang was pulled up as a temporary strong man. Radio waves were emitted from the communication module and flew everywhere with all kinds of instructions. If it hadn't been for the experimental radio on the Honolulu. The communication module has been specially expanded, special generators have been installed and six long-wave radio stations have been equipped. No matter how anxious Master Li is, he can't deal with so much information.

However, the disadvantage of the low amount of information carried by the long-wave radio station is still obvious. A slightly longer telegram often takes a few hours, so this time I must continue to put some pressure on the Tesla monster and take out the medium and short wave radio as soon as possible.

Master Li leaned on the pillow with his head in his arms. Although he has done everything he can do, technology and manufacturing are not urgent. Honolulu is now at a critical point. As long as he waits for a few more years, he will definitely usher in a big outbreak period!

But the question is, can you wait until that time?

Damn Nicholas II, not long after he ascended the throne, how good is it to **** his wife and lover at home? I prefer to send troops to the Far East to cause trouble to the young master, and they are also elite Cossack cavalry.

Isn't it said in the book that Nicholas II's generals were very stupid in the face of himself? Why did you get enlightened when you got to the young master's side? It was quietly hidden from everyone that 5,000 Cossack cavalry were transferred, and the number of garrisons was also doubled. Is this like what a fool did?

"Don-Don."

"Come in."

When Master Li was lying in ** and thinking nonsense, the knock on the hatch made him suddenly sit up. Duan Fei walked into the cabin in black and handed over the telegram he had just received.

"Young Master, the staff headquarters made a rough calculation based on the schematic diagram sent back by Dong Dahai and others, and concluded that if the newly built barracks in Vladivostok and the Twin Cities are full, the number of people will be basically between 40,000 and 50,000. With the navy and logistics personnel, the total strength of the Russians may reach 60,000!"

"Six thousand!"

Master Li twitched the corners of his mouth twice. Grandma, what on earth is Nicholas II going to do? I really want to work hard! It is said that this guy in the Russian war is both an expeditionary fleet and an army, which is just this number!

Is it the young master who is too cruel? Or did Nicholas II have been cuckolded recently? Why are you playing so big!

Without waiting for Master Li to recover from Russia's huge troop transfer plan, Duan Fei handed in another piece of information: "Young master, Russia officially renamed their Far East Fleet to the Pacific Fleet. This is the information we have just sorted out, including the list of Russian reinforced warships originally stationed in Vladivostok. And the information."

After receiving the information and scanning it twice, Master Li's head really began to hurt.

Nasty Nicholas II, can't you sleep more women at home? If you have to come here to cause trouble for the young master, isn't it forcing me to do it against you?

Holding the information, Master Li was so angry that he was so angry that he did it! The young master named the Pacific Fleet, and you are also called the Pacific Fleet! I have liked to learn from others since Peter the Great! It's a little creative, okay? Why do you always like other people's buttocks? And the young master just cleaned up himself, and you increased your strength and urgently sent four additional armored cruisers. Didn't you mean to let me deal with you?

He muttered and muttered, and when he was angry, he compared it to the middle finger, but the information in front of him really made Master Li dizzy.

First-class battleship: Peter the Great, Natelon? Menya; first-class armored cruisers: Kremlin armored cruisers, Duke of Edinburgh armored cruisers, Dmitry-Donskoy, Imperial Guard; protective cruisers: Cossacks, Dragic, Robber, Manghan; coastal defense ship: Admiral Apraxin in addition to large and small drives There are twelve ships, gunboats and torpedo boats, with a total of 22. Although more than half of them are warships that have been in service for more than ten years, Lao Maozi's warships are rough and thick, far from comparable to those with the thin skin and big stuffing.

Is Nicholas II going to have a party here? Why do you make so many warships?

"Fortunately, I have added two more Arctic star battleships, otherwise I really can't suppress this polar bear!" Master Li spit out his tongue and secretly celebrated that he was also worried. Although he was old, it was not a way to put such a huge fleet beside him. Why don't you do it first?

Shake your head. It's not a joke to start a war with Russia. Last year, it was claimed to be the world's third navy, with a vast territory and a million-dollar army. It's really not what Master Li can provoke at this moment.

But the problem is that he didn't mess with him, but he came to mess with himself!

"The Russians want the whole Far East, so Britain wants to contain Russia. Germany supports Russia to contain Britain. France supports Russia to contain Germany. Britain also supports France to contain Germany. Germany also needs to pay attention to the Far East. It is afraid that Russia's expansion is too fast. Even the Americans want to intervene in the Far East recently, except for Italy and Austria. Outside the Hungarian Empire, almost all who can come have come. No wonder the Far East is in a mess!

Dive it! When the young master gets out the aircraft carrier, it will all sink you!

Master Li dumped the information angrily. It's really messy, but he has to find a way! I have a headache, I want to crack, and I don't even have a massage maid around. It's really annoying!

Seeing Li Mo's sad face, Duan Fei was also worried. Russia's concentration of troops to the Far East this time must have seen that Japan was weakened to benefit. Originally, everyone thought that their main target was North Korea, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Although geographically, no matter how hard Russia is, it can't threaten the third acre of Honolulu, if they are allowed to gain a foothold in the Far East, the threat will be great!

The biggest problem is that the young master is also paying attention to Liaodong. Over the years, he has invested and expanded the seaport for the huge resources of the northeast. If the Russians intervened at this moment, wouldn't he have lost all his previous achievements?

The fleet is not bad. No matter how it is calculated, it can still suppress the Russians, but the army is the biggest constraint that restricts Li Mo's ambition to stop the Russians. Although the conscription has never been interrupted, so far, the total number of the Pacific Army has still not exceeded 40,000, and it is necessary to defend Honolulu and Liu. Ball, the maximum number of troops that can be dispatched is only 20,000.

It's difficult!

Why don't you take the lead in attacking while the Russians are not on a stable foothold?

In Li Mo's mind, this idea flashed, but it was quickly rejected. A pre-strike is a way, but the problem is that whether it is Vladivostok or the Twin Cities, it is too far away for the Pacific Army, which currently has no bases in the Far East.

Thinking of this, Li Mo took a deep breath.

"Duan Fei, how long do you think it will take for the Russians to prepare?"

Duan Fei thought for a moment and said, "Now the mountains are covered with heavy snow in the north, and it is even more difficult to travel in the Siberian region. The Siberian railway planned by the Russians has also been delayed again and again, so according to my estimation, no matter how hard the Russians work, they will have to wait until May to transfer troops to settle in, plus training and preparation, at least July. Be able to take practical action.

"July." Li Mo took a breath: "That is to say, we still have five months to prepare?"

"Yes."

Duan Fei nodded and said again, "But there is something to pay attention to. There is news from the United States that the construction speed of the four warships ordered in the United States is very fast. If it goes well, it is expected to return to Japan early next year!"

"So fast!"

Li Mo was shocked. He didn't expect the Yankees to work so hard. In this way, when the Russians send more troops and go south, he will only have six months at most. Otherwise, he is very likely to face the pressure of two-line combat!

Hit! It must end in six months, and it must be completely hurt, at least to make Russia unable to move for a few years! If you don't fight, it means that you must watch the Russians enter the Northeast Plain! The investment there in the early stage will all turn into melted snow!

More importantly, there is still Nanyang waiting to be cleaned up by itself at this moment!

Your sister! It's all crowded together!

"Young master, Lushun and North Korea's urgent telegram." Just when Li Mo was difficult to choose, Du Dazhuang rushed into the cabin and brought two pieces of news at the same time: "This morning, Empress Mingcheng of North Korea met with the Russian ambassador in private and promised to rent Yuanshan Port as a commercial port in exchange for Russia's troops to contain Japan."

"In addition, two Russian [***] ships wintering in Lushun also set sail today, destined for Incheon Port!"

It's a big strip! ......
