Lord of the Misty World

Chapter 442 Naval Operations
Qinghe Kingdom, Tokaido, a sea port.

At this time, a mountain of various materials has been transported to this port, including basic building materials, temporary building modules, a large amount of steel, various weapons and equipment, a large amount of ammunition, food, and so on.

These materials are classified and packed in each container, and placed in different categories.Then, through the gantry crane on the dock, put these containers on the ocean-going ships that have already been prepared.

These transport ships are all large transport ships newly built by the Qinghe Kingdom, and they are specially developed for long-distance ocean transport.

These ships are huge, and a single ship can transport tens of thousands of tons of various materials.And in this port, ten ships were docked for the first time.

Not only these transport ships, there are also two material handling ships with simple gantry cranes on this dock, which are also used as ship repair ships.

In addition to material transportation, on the other side of the pier, two reminding huge ships docked here.Teams of soldiers and a large number of fighters are queuing up to board the ship, and on the other ship, many people in workers' uniforms are queuing up to board the ship.

These two ships are personnel transport ships specially prepared for this voyage. One ship can guarantee the short-term transportation task of 5000 people. Of course, with so many people crowded together, the comfort level is reduced to the minimum.

However, according to the preliminary investigation, this advance is only a thousand kilometers of sea journey. With the current speed of the ship, that is, two or three days' effort, it can still persist.

In addition to various transport ships, supply ships, and engineering ships, there is also the First Fleet and the Second Fleet, which consist of a total of twenty first-generation warships, ten second-generation warships, and two third-generation warships.

This time, it was the first long-distance voyage of the Qinghe Kingdom. Although plans had been made time and time again, this was the first real long-distance voyage. As the commander-in-chief of the fleet this time, the only lieutenant general in the navy was personally in charge of commanding. .

At the same time, there are several rear admirals in command. These are the top forces of the navy. It can be said that the Qinghe Kingdom has made sufficient preparations for this long voyage.

When the transportation of a large amount of materials was completed, the lieutenant general among the third-generation warships gave the order to sail, and a fleet of nearly a hundred ships left the port, forming a mighty fleet to move towards the first target, the mountain and sea port.

The coastline of the Qinghe Kingdom extends southward from the east coastline of the original Mage Council to the coastline of the Witch Kingdom. It is roughly a straight line and stretches for thousands of kilometers.

On this coastline of thousands of miles, the Qinghe Kingdom has developed several large and excellent ports, as well as dozens of small ports.

Although the Qinghe Kingdom was only sailing in the offshore at this time, when the offshore coast guard fleet wiped out a large number of enemies, the offshore shipping of the Qinghe Kingdom also developed. Another new way of transportation.

Later, the Mountain Legion of the Qinghe Kingdom advanced eastward, occupying hundreds of kilometers of mountains in the east. Here, the coastline of the Qinghe Kingdom turned a ninety-degree bend and extended to the east.

This section of the coastline is actually the southern part of the northern mountain range of the Qinghe Kingdom. The tall mountain range is like a city wall, stretching across the sea.

During the follow-up exploration of the Qinghe Kingdom, three natural and excellent ports were also found on the coastline of about [-] kilometers of mountains.

It's just that these ports are surrounded by mountains, and now they are only used as the base of the coastal fleet to protect the safety of the Qinghe Kingdom's coastline.

At the same time, behind these three ports, the engineering team is building roads, penetrating through the [-]-kilometer mountainous area, and extending this port to the grassland area opposite the mountain range.

The construction of this project has been started since the discovery of these three ports, but because of the small investment and manpower, it has not been fully completed.

Along this east-west coastline, eastward to the eastern edge of the mountain range, there is a plain area with a width of about [-] kilometers where a harbor city can be built.

And because it is located in a remote place, it has been wiped out by the vanguard of the Qinghe Kingdom. A small Chiwu Royal Tribe lived here, occupied it, established an outpost, and expanded several times to form a small city.

This time, the first target of the large fleet was the Haijiao City area. Based on the situation here, Qinghe Kingdom named this small town Haijiao County, and the port on the edge of the county was named Haijiao Port.

And here in Cape County, the coastline is again ninety degrees to the north, all the way north.On land, the Winter Legion is advancing eastward, and the destination of the first step of the battle plan is this coastline.

After the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion attack here, choose a suitable location as a port, and the sea fleet will almost arrive here, start landing to build a city, and provide supplies for the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion.

Supervising the voyage, he sailed obliquely to the east for more than a day, passing the border of the murlocs along the way.

But the two sides only confronted each other from a distance, and there was no conflict. The fleet passed through this sea area and arrived in Haijiao County the next evening.

The Grand Fleet docked here and reported its position to the General Command. When it was learned that the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion were still advancing, this fleet received a new order.

Rest for a period of time in Cape County, wait until the two legions advance to the eastern coastline, and continue to advance.

During the period when the fleet was moored, the craftsmen on board the ships also assisted Cape County to expand the port, adding [-] ship berths to the port.

Six days later, the fleet received an order, and the entire fleet set off from Jixi.According to intelligence, the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion have advanced to the eastern coastline.

The Winter Legion has discovered a suitable area for a port, and now awaits the arrival of the Grand Fleet.

For this reason, the general headquarters also handed over the communication channel of the Right Route Army Cold Winter Corps to the fleet, allowing them to contact and determine the location by themselves.

"Winter Legion, this is the temporary fleet. We have already set off and sailed at [-] kilometers per hour. Where is the location you found now?"

On the Grand Fleet, I got the communication from the Winter Legion and sent the message as soon as possible.

"Temporary Fleet, here is the Winter Legion, we have discovered a natural deep-water port, which can be used with a little modification.

The port is located about [-] kilometers north of the northern mountain range. We have already lit a beacon on the coast, and this beacon will remain lit until we contact you. "

Starting from Haijiao County, they advanced about [-] kilometers. Five hours later, the large fleet advancing along the coast saw a column of smoke rising into the sky from the coast.

"It's there."

On the flagship of the fleet, the vice admiral put down the binoculars in his hand, and said calmly to the deputy beside him.

"Notify the fleet, prepare to dock, first let the engineering team build a temporary dock, send supplies and personnel up, and then slowly build here."

"Yes, Captain."

After discovering the beacon fire ignited by the Winter Legion, this large fleet with hundreds of ships began to slowly dock.

But here is just a deep-water port, and there is no wharf to berth. For this reason, a transport ship in the front berths not far from the coast.

Afterwards, the boat was put down on the ship, and a group of engineering personnel were carried on board to land on their own.

After this engineering team landed on land, they quickly conducted a topographic survey of this port, and quickly drew up a blueprint of the port building.

Immediately afterwards, the earth elemental engineering mage began to build the dock.The spell of turning mud into stone controls the accumulation of mud in the seawater, repairs the entire coastline, the underwater mud turns into rocks and gathers together, and the flat beach is also built into a rocky shore foundation perpendicular to the sea.

In just one day, three rock piers extending into the sea were built. A 50-meter-wide pier can berth four ships, and three piers can berth twelve ships.

After the construction of this pier was completed, the ships anchored at sea began to move slowly, and the entire fleet began to separate material transport ships to berth here.

Subsequently, a large amount of materials began to be transported to the dock, and at the same time, the engineering team of 5000 and the marines of 5000 all disembarked.

The 5000-member engineering team disembarked, and immediately all engineering personnel began to act.

Part of it began to expand the dock, and part of it began to build roads, warehouses, temporary camps, and further sentry posts in the port.

At the same time, because this place itself is still in the territory of Chiwu Royal Court, and there may be other enemies in the ocean, part of the escort fleet will stay to guard the port.

In the future, a group of offshore gunboats will be mobilized from Haijiao County as a coast guard fleet to strengthen coastal protection.

After all the materials were unloaded from the ship, the remaining frigates escorted this batch of transport ships and left the port.After the location of the port is determined, the number of transport ships coming next time will be more.

On land, the 10 marines left behind are the troops guarding the port. At the same time, the task of the [-] workers is to expand the port city and expand the port city into a large city that can accommodate tens of thousands of people. .

Because of this goal, these construction teams used this to build various public buildings, residential areas, and supporting facilities from the beginning, and everything was in order from the beginning, and everything had a complete plan.

The Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion received some supplies and started a new campaign.

Now occupying the area, advance to the north. This time, there is no specific distance to advance to the north. It can't stop until the two legions can't move.

In other words, the next battle is to expand the territory, and each legion occupies as much land as possible.

The right army, advancing these days, successively destroyed 75 tribes of the Chiwu Royal Court, with a population of 180 million, of which 70 died and captured 110 million. Most of the prisoners were women and children.

Because the area close to the northern mountain range is located behind Chiwu Royal Court, there are fewer monsters, it is relatively safe, and the number of monsters is also relatively small.

But when the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion began to advance northward, the number of monsters along the way increased rapidly, and the combat effectiveness of the tribes that survived the monster battles also increased significantly.

And because of the vast area, the Winter Legion and the Wind Elemental Legion reached their limit by advancing up to [-] kilometers a day.

But on the other side, the left army occupied more land than the right army in the same period of time.
