Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

"Why did you stop?" Colonel William looked at the man in front of him with a puzzled look and then asked.

Wang Jun glanced at Colonel William and said calmly.

"They need to disembark here."

"Where is this place?" Colonel William asked puzzledly.

"It belongs to Somalia." After Wang Jun said this, he commanded the warship to move towards the port.

According to the previous agreement, Italian Somalia would have a port belonging to them.

And this time they are also taking over the port in accordance with the agreement.

"Is this a German battleship?" In the port, an Italian lieutenant colonel frowned as he looked at the warship that was about to enter the port.

"Derfflinger-class battlecruisers? Weren't they forced to sink themselves?" The Italian major next to him also looked puzzled.

It is no wonder that they recognized these warships. It was Operation Rainbow, in which the German High Seas Fleet sank itself to show its determination and shocked the world.

Anyone who pays a little attention will know that the German Navy has completely declined since then.

To this day, he has not fully recovered.

As a result, a warship that had already sunk itself now appeared here. It was really shocking.

"I don't know, maybe they rebuilt it. Never mind. Our task is to take charge of the handover of the port. The rest has nothing to do with us." The Italian lieutenant colonel shook his head. Although he didn't understand why it had to be handed over, this place was barren and there were no minerals, so he might as well hand it over.

What surprised him was that it was a German warship that came to escort them.

Even though it was an accident, he wouldn't ask any more questions.

The less trouble, the better.

The most important thing is to hand over the port as soon as possible.

When the Italian lieutenant colonel saw a group of soldiers in dark green uniforms walking down from the warship with a strange-looking truck behind them, he was a little confused but did not ask any more questions.

"My name is Liu Bai. I have been ordered to take over here. Here are the takeover documents." Liu Bai said to the Italian lieutenant colonel in front of him while holding the document.

Hearing this, the Italian lieutenant colonel also took the document, verified it, and said to Liu Bai.

"No problem. From now on, this place will be under your jurisdiction."

After saying this, without waiting for Liu Bai to react, he picked up the documents, turned around and left with his subordinates.

Liu Bai didn't say anything, but just ordered his subordinates to officially take over this dilapidated port.

At this time, the people on the warship watched the port being successfully handed over, and after a whistle sounded, they slowly left.

On the other side, Italian Navy Commander Camponio was stunned for a moment when he received the news from the German warship.

"Didn't it sink by itself?"

The first reaction of all the naval commanders who received the news was, didn’t it sink?

Why did it appear again?
"Damn, these cunning Germans, they actually hid it so deeply."

Although it was just a battlecruiser, and it was during World War I, no one knew whether the Germans had concealed other battleships.

If there is more, how much?

Will there be battleships?
These are all things they need to take into consideration.

If he guessed correctly, the British Empire was now definitely reassessing the true strength of the German Navy.

"But where were these warships built?"

The sudden appearance of this warship did surprise him, so he really wanted to know where this warship was built.

According to his understanding, it was definitely not built in the port of Kiel.

Although the German Navy concealed various things, in fact, those secrets of the German Navy were nothing to them.

"Forget it, this has nothing to do with us. Now I need to know, how can we defeat the Royal Navy?" Camponio asked.

"Commander, according to the staff's deduction, we need to at least double the number of our existing warships." A major general stood up and reported.

"At present, we are not short of oil. I suggest that we report to the Prime Minister that the navy needs more warships and request the construction of more warships."

"Well, I have reported this before, and the Prime Minister has also promised to increase military spending for the navy to expand it." Camponio nodded.

"Should the focus now be on building more battleships or aircraft carriers?"

This naval battle made him realize the importance of fighter jets, so he always felt that aircraft carriers would play a huge role in the future.

But as soon as he made this suggestion, it was rejected.

To put it bluntly, in this era of naval guns, caliber represents justice.

In their eyes, an aircraft carrier is just a toy.

Only the battleship is king.

"Your Excellency the Commander, the performance of our battleships is completely inferior to that of the Royal Fleet, especially the caliber of our battleships. I think we should increase the research and development of the caliber of naval guns, especially the 406mm naval guns." The major general who spoke earlier reiterated his opinion.

The caliber of their battleships was significantly weaker than that of the Royal Fleet.

If the caliber can be expanded, I believe we can definitely win.

Aircraft carrier?

What kind of crappy toy is that, and you expect it to win a naval battle?
Are you kidding me?
As expected, his words received support from many people.

Seeing this, Camponio could only sigh and then stop dwelling on this issue.

On the other side, Admiral Cunningham of the Royal Fleet received a telegram from First Lord of the Admiralty Churchill, but was a little surprised.

But it was just a surprise, not too many unexpected things.

He was told that a battlecruiser that was forced to sink during World War I could not turn the tables.

Even if there are a few more ships, we can still defeat the enemy.

This is the confidence of the world's number one navy.

"Okay, there's no need to pay too much attention to a Derfflinger-class battlecruiser that sank a long time ago." Admiral Canniin said and no longer paid attention to the matter.

……

On the other hand, after Lu Yuhua received the second sub-base vehicle arriving in Italian Somalia, he began to issue orders to build various factories.

The first is the power plant, followed by the ore refinery, tank factory, barracks, etc.

The weapons chosen are mainly American equipment.

As for race, it is based on the Arab model.

I have to say that Lu Yuhua is very scheming.

In this colony dominated by Britain, France and Italy, an army equipped entirely with American weapons would certainly arouse suspicion from Britain, France and Italy.

They believe that this is America's attempt to take over Africa's affairs.

Even if the United States denies that they did not do it, the presence of American weapons and equipment cannot be explained at all.

It can't just appear out of thin air, right?

And so many people couldn’t just appear out of thin air, right?
So, Lu Yuhua deliberately wanted to disrupt the situation here.

After the first soldier was created, Lu Yuhua asked them to attack the Somali colony belonging to Britain and France.

After the arrangements for the second branch base were completed, Lu Yuhua began to take stock of his assets.

He currently has four security teams, of which Lu Yuyan’s Wuming Security Team has only more than 3,000 people.

Most of them were recruited soldiers, with only a small number of mobilized soldiers serving as officers at all levels.

The weapons and equipment are not very strong, mainly light weapons. The largest caliber artillery is only the 81mm mortar, and there is not even a 105mm howitzer.

The main reason is that there are too many new recruits, and it is good enough if they can learn how to use the mortar.

And if nothing unexpected happens, the opponent basically has no chance to go to the battlefield. So the configuration Lu Yuhua gave him was not particularly luxurious.

In contrast, the Chongzuo Security Corps has very luxurious weapons and equipment as well as personnel configuration.

The number of people alone is almost 10,000.

It is called a security regiment, but in fact it is more like a security brigade.

Seventy percent of them were mobilized soldiers, ten percent were middle and senior military branches such as the National Grenadiers, and the remaining twenty percent were soldiers recruited locally.

This group of people are mainly guides.

According to Lu Yuhua's previous orders, they were responsible for clearing out the bandits in Chongzuo.

Without a local guide, it is easy to get lost.

As for weapons and equipment, they were also quite luxurious. If the mountain roads had not been so rugged that the 150mm howitzers could not be transported, Lu Yuhua would have even equipped them with 170mm cannons.

Because the Chongzuo Security Corps is also responsible for the task of guarding Zhennan Pass, it must be strong.

The soldiers' individual weapons are also much better, equipped with a large number of automatic firearms, mainly submachine guns.

If it weren't for the lack of money and the fact that there would be certain penalties for advanced research and production of weapons, Lu Yuhua would even want to produce the G43 semi-automatic rifle.

In addition to these, Lu Yuhua has asked Liu Yi to prepare to strengthen infrastructure construction.

Especially in the area of ​​roads, more investment must be made.

I believe that it won’t be long before the roads are improved and logistics supplies won’t be so stressful.

After all, the current logistical pressure is very high due to the poor road conditions.

If it weren't for Lu Yuhua's supply at all costs, their supplies would have been used up long ago.

Fortunately, Annan’s troops also sent some food aid from time to time.

It relieves some of the pressure, otherwise it would be too great.

As for Zhou Weiguo's Qinzhou Security Corps, it increased from the original 3,000 people to more than 5,000 people.

The added parts are mainly artillery, tanks, and anti-aircraft guns.

Mainly to guard against attacks by Japanese fighter planes.

Especially artillery and tanks, the purpose is to lay the foundation for building mechanized forces in the future.

Mechanized troops are not unfamiliar to Zhou Weiguo.

After all, the previous German-equipped divisions had armored units, and he had also been exposed to this knowledge when he studied in Germany.

What surprised him was that Lu Yuhua was so generous.

Or it could be said that he was very courageous, as he increased the artillery configuration without saying a word, especially turning the regimental artillery company into an artillery battalion.

At the same time, the armored battalion’s own anti-aircraft artillery battalion was added.

This is already the organization of a reinforced regiment.

The Qinzhou security corps is composed of 50% mobilized soldiers and 50% recruited soldiers.

The remaining one is Pingnan’s security team.

The vast majority of them were soldiers recruited by Long Wenjian, mainly members of the cannon fodder regiment.

Regarding this point, Lu Yuhua didn't understand what kind of fate it was that made Long Wenjian recruit them together again. It was really amazing.

Basically all the cannon fodder group members came.

I can only say that Long Wenjian is too charming.

The main goal of the Pingnan Security Corps was to prepare for the subsequent attack on Yangcheng, which was consistent with the attack goal of Zhou Weiguo's Qinzhou Security Corps.

As for Long Wenjian's security team, its number exceeds 7,000 people, but because most of them are cannon fodder and new recruits, their combat effectiveness is not high.

So Lu Yuhua’s request to him was to train the troops well and to send more senior soldiers to help with training.

Improve combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Not counting the 714th Garrison Regiment directly under Lu Yuhua, the four security regiments alone have more than people.

It can be said that the forces directly under his Guangxi Security Corps are already the fourth largest force in Guangxi Province.

In other words, after the three leaders Li Bai and Huang, he was the fourth largest leader of the Guangxi clique.

Of course, this is just self-proclaimed, and it has not actually been recognized by others.

However, Lu Yuhua’s current strength should not be underestimated.

After taking stock of his family's assets, Lu Yuhua began to consider whether to form a marine corps.

Because he was setting his sights on Qiongzhou, but in order to take it, he had to fight across the sea.

This really stumped him.

It is basically impossible for ordinary troops to fight across the sea without training.

The other four security groups all have their own tasks.

So after much deliberation, the only option was to reorganize a new force to be responsible for landing operations.

But he hasn't decided on the candidate yet.

As a result, Wu Shi brought him a huge surprise.

A surprise that made his scalp tingle.

"Commander Wu, how come you have time to come to me?" After receiving the report from his subordinates, Lu Yuhua immediately went to greet them in person.

"I promised to introduce you to some military officers last time, so I came here to fulfill my promise and see if I can make some money at the same time." Wu Shi acted very greedy, which surprised Lu Yuhua.

Normally, the chief of staff of a theater of operations shouldn't be very poor?
The military pay given by Shancheng shouldn’t be very low, right?
Why are you still thinking about making money?

But after considering the moral character of these people, Lu Yuhua didn't find it strange.

"I wonder what kind of business Commander Wu wants to do?" Lu Yuhua thought for a moment and asked.

"Of course it's arms. Once it's sold, the price will double. If it's sold to a farther place, the price will be even higher." Wu Shi said with a smile.

"Okay, I wonder how much Commander Wu needs? I'll have someone send it to you. As for the price, it's based on Commander Zhang's price." Based on the principle of not offending the other party, Lu Yuhua decided to sell it to Zhang Fakui at the same price.

Sure enough, when Wu Shi heard this, he was immediately delighted.

"Commander Lu is really generous. I have made a lot of money this way." Wu Shi said with a smile and took out a list.

"This is what I promised you last time. Now that most people have arrived, I might as well send it to you."

As he said this, he handed the list to Lu Yuhua.

After taking the list, Lu Yuhua opened it and took a casual glance at it. The next second, he was stunned.

What is Li's ability?

Ding’s abacus?

What else is there.

Looking at the list above, Lu Yuhua couldn't help rubbing his eyes, repeatedly confirming whether he had read it wrong.

It turned out that I was not wrong.

Dry!
Lu Yuhua was completely speechless, and looked at Wu Shi in front of him with helplessness.

and many more!

No way?
Is this the prototype of Yu Zecheng in The Hidden Dragon?

For a moment, Lu Yuhua looked at the list, confused and not knowing what to say.
