Chapter 430 This is a big battle to conquer a continent! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

Pearl Harbor, the home port of the Pacific Fleet of the Ming Dynasty Navy.

On the wharf, another 10 "Nanyang Ships" that had just arrived from the mainland of Ming Dynasty began to unload their cargo. Under the command of the soldiers, 10 cranes were swinging back and forth to unload the biplanes from the ship.

这次运来的是180架海飞龙2型战斗轰炸机，100架双龙2型侦察轰炸机，60架雷龙1型鱼雷轰炸机，以及36架翔龙1型4发双翼轰炸机和18架云龙1型水上侦察机。

These 394 wooden planes are about one-third of the monthly output of Daming.In order to strengthen the strength of the Pacific Fleet and the Southern Continental Army Corps, the General Staff of the Daming Navy and Army made a decision at the beginning of Taiping 12. Starting from February, one-third of the monthly aircraft production will be allocated to the Pacific Fleet and the Southern Continental Fleet. Continental Army Corps, sent once a month.

Of course, you can't have a plane without a pilot.So along with these planes are 180 rookies who have just graduated from the Navy and Army flight schools. These pilots will be assigned to the aviation division of the Southern Continental Army Corps and the Guarding Flying Corps under the jurisdiction of the Pacific Fleet.At the same time, more than a hundred veterans who have been trained in the guarding flight corps will be replaced by rookies, and then transferred to the carrier flight corps of the Pacific Fleet.After completing the aircraft carrier take-off and landing training, they will become carrier-based aircraft pilots-now the Ming Navy has no shortage of aircraft carriers or aircraft, but it is very short of carrier-based aircraft pilots!
In addition to these pilots, the first marine division assigned to the Nanda Army also arrived three days ago, so that the total strength of the ground troops belonging to the Nanda Army has reached 10.The total strength of the ground troops belonging to the Southern Continental Corps on Oahu Island alone has reached 5. Together with the personnel of the Pacific Fleet, there are almost [-] to [-] troops gathered.

The entire Kingdom of Hawaii has become an ocean of the Ming army!
In addition, there are also warships gathered on Oahu!There are 21 battleships and battlecruisers at all levels!Eight aircraft carriers came, and more than forty armored cruisers, second- and third-class cruisers gathered.There are even more destroyers, all of which have exceeded one hundred.In addition, there are no less than a hundred ships including the Nandao Ship, Nanyang Ship, and Nantan Tanker!However, the largest number of Type A landing ships were too many to be packed at Pearl Harbor, so they had to be scattered to other ports in the Hawaiian Islands.

Standing on the pier outside the headquarters in Pearl Harbor, looking at the ships that almost filled the port, watching the planes take off and land, Zhuge Weidao, Chen Jian, Ma Xuchen, Ling Zongjun, Huang Shuren, Wang Wen, Li Kezhi Waiting for the fleet or the high-level guards of the General Army Division are a little smug.What they are about to fight is a big battle to conquer a continent!
Since the death of King Zhuge Wuzhong, the Great Ming Dynasty has put away its ambitions and developed steadily for more than 100 years. Until it has developed itself into a giant capable of leading the entire world, it has never carried out such a grandiose This record of conquest will be broken by these Ming soldiers who have gathered in Hawaii today.

Future history books will definitely use the most gorgeous words to praise these heroes of the Chinese dynasty, and their names will be remembered by future generations.And after this great conquest is over, those who are lucky enough to participate in it will definitely be rewarded as they deserve.

The current Ming Dynasty is not a country that belongs to the emperor, but a country that belongs to heroes and their descendants.

But the military medals are still shining in Daming!

"Let's go! Guo Xiaobao called just now, saying that there is an important military situation!"

Zhuge Weidao withdrew his gaze from the large warships emitting metallic light, then turned around, and was the first to walk towards the Pacific Fleet Headquarters building.

The few guards standing in front of the Pacific Fleet Headquarters couldn't help straightening their chests when they saw the senior officers with the shining stars on their epaulets and the large fleet waiting to go out in the harbor.Although they are only conscripts and not front-line personnel, they have almost no chance to make meritorious service.But you can be in this battle, you can watch with your own eyes the people who will surely go down in history in the future, follow you in and out, and you can brag about it with your children and grandchildren for a lifetime in the future.

When Zhuge Weidao walked into the newly renovated command center in the headquarters building, Guo Xiaobao, the chief staff officer of the Pacific Fleet, who had been promoted to major general, was commanding a group of young staff members, using a long push rod to move the Several ship models symbolizing the British Royal Navy's Indian Grand Fleet are pushed southward from Mumbai, India.

Seeing Zhuge Weidao and others coming in, Guo Xiaobao hurried forward to give a military salute, and then said excitedly: "Junmen, just received a report from the Navy Staff, the British Indian fleet has moved!"

"Oh? It's finally moving?" Zhuge Weidao immediately became excited when he heard this. "They've been lying in Mumbai for almost 5 months. I thought they were going to spend the New Year in India!"

现在已经是太平12年的11月，也就是西历1832年的11月了距离英国皇家海军印度大舰队集结的基本完成，已经过去了差不多5个月！

During these five months, except for some newly commissioned ships and carrier air force who are busy training and running in, the other ships are basically in the middle of maintenance, maintenance, lying down and routine training, as if it is still a peaceful age like.

But this is also the characteristic of "Great War" - those battleships, armored cruisers, and aircraft carriers are all like their ancestors, and they have to be carefully served.Moreover, the larger the warships, the more likely their power systems would wear out and fail, and the fuel consumption and coal consumption would also be astronomical.

Therefore, the battle of the main force of the fleet is not to be fought casually.

In addition, these large warships are quite difficult to drive.Now both sides have received many new ships, recruited many recruits, promoted a batch of new captains, chief mates, chief engineers, and many rookie pilots.If they don't train and get used to it well, let them go out in a big ship that is as delicate as their ancestors, what if they break it?
Therefore, the commanders of the Grand Fleet are all masters who enjoy fighting for a while, and their management is overwhelmed.

Zhuge Weidao, William Baga, Guan Tianpei, and Li Chengxun have all had a lot of headaches these past few months in order to train their large fleet well.

Of course, combat missions are also indispensable.Large ships, especially new ships among large ships, cannot be dispatched casually.However, small boats, small boats and old ships still have to be frequently dispatched to perform tasks such as breaking diplomatic relations, escorting, and seizing small islands.

And these tasks are at the same time testing the depth of the opponent so as to provide a basis for the formulation of the final decisive battle plan.

After several months of testing, Zhuge Weidao can basically confirm that the main force of the British Royal Navy is not in Australia. The British mainly rely on small fleets and island chain defenses, as well as deploying a large number of troops in Australia to defend the wild land, but resource-rich continent.

Since the British Grand Fleet is really not in Australia, they must be concentrated in India.

"Since they've moved, we should do the same!" Zhuge Weidao looked at the chart and asked in a low voice, "Does the General Staff have any suggestions?"

Guo Xiaobao said: "Yes! The General Staff believes that we should first cooperate with the Western and Nanyang Fleets to encircle and wipe out the British and Indian fleets! Only by annihilating the main force of the British Navy can we be sure of winning the Southern Continent Campaign!"
