Chapter 997 War Preparations Completed

A single takeoff and landing does not mean that the trial flight was successful.

Because of the tight schedule, they had many goals to achieve this time.

Not only do you need to complete a single takeoff and landing, but you also need to complete continuous takeoffs, air formations and landings.

This is more difficult, not everyone has Xu Jin’s skills.

During the second landing, one of the pilots did not operate the aircraft well, causing the plane to stumble. It felt like it had hit the crew on an aircraft carrier, but in the end it was a near miss.

Another unknown reason was that the plane did not hook up the rope when it landed. He wanted to take off again, but due to lack of power, he fell into the sea and died heroically.

This accident added some clouds to the crowd who were still cheering.

Although, this is something that is very likely to happen in practice. But when this happened in front of Wu Changqing, it was still frustrating after all.

"No matter how much you practice, don't worry too much. If it doesn't work, you won't bring the aircraft carrier."

Wu Changqing said.

He knew that a big reason for this accident was that he rushed too quickly.

If you slowly explore and test-fly, the chance of an accident will be greatly reduced.

In order to be able to accompany Wu Changqing on the expedition, all exercises on the aircraft carrier were carried out intensively, and some omissions would inevitably occur.

Wu Changqing spoke, but the navy, especially the captain of the aircraft carrier, did not listen to his words.

It won't work if we don't let them go to war.

It is a great honor to accompany Wu Changqing on the expedition, and no matter how great the difficulty is, it must be overcome.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if one or two people die during training.

The captain of the aircraft carrier, Xu Wenbing, is also a veteran and has experienced previous war eras. He has experienced several battles with tens of thousands of casualties.

Now you are giving up because a few people died during training? He is not so pretentious, and the officers and men on the aircraft carrier will not agree.

After watching the aircraft carrier trial, Wu Changqing also visited the God Emperor, which was being renovated. It was originally a large transport ship.

The God Emperor is a very special ship. Let's call it a warship. It does not have large-caliber main or secondary guns.

Let's call it a passenger ship. It has a large number of machine guns for close defense, and the armor on the ship is very thick and can withstand the bombardment of the Yanhuang's secondary guns.

This is a car specially prepared for Wu Changqing's imperial expedition.

Wu Changqing's imperial convoy was naturally unfit to ride on a battleship.

On the battleship, the space is utilized to the extreme, and the pursuit is all about efficiency, which has nothing to do with comfort.

The navy would not have the guts to let the emperor live on such a ship for several months.

However, it is not appropriate for the emperor to sail on a luxury liner. Luxury liner is only superficially luxurious, but in fact, its performance cannot be compared with that of a warship.

When the time comes, we can't let the battleship formation adapt to the speed of the passenger ship.

Moreover, the protection and safety of passenger ships are not very reliable.

For these reasons, the Navy used a transport ship to refit it.

The armor of this transport ship is already very thick, and the internal space is also very large. It only needs a little modification to become a very comfortable battleship.

Wu Changqing briefly took a look at the God Emperor being refitted.

There are not only several oversized rooms above, but also a swimming pool, restaurants, etc.

Although Wu Changqing didn't say it, the people below didn't think it would be too boring to let the emperor wander at sea alone for several months.

When the ship was designed, it was considered that Wu Changqing would bring women on board.

After an inspection in Shanghai, Wu Changqing returned to Nanjing.

And the preparations for the war are still going on.

The pilots on the aircraft carrier are constantly practicing takeoffs and landings in order to ensure that they are foolproof when they go on an expedition.

The mixed fleet is also practicing various formation coordination.

In terms of logistics, supplies are also being prepared.

These are still local preparations. Overseas, there is more preparation work.

For example, military bases at the mouth of the river, Colombo, the Cape of Good Hope, and the Gold Coast are all stocking up on anthracite and oil to facilitate the supply of the expedition fleet.

Without the supplies from these military bases, an expedition to Europe would actually be a luxury.

Nowadays, Dahua's warships have completely lost their sails. Their power comes from either coal or fuel oil. Without these, Dahua's warships cannot move.

Dahua is tens of thousands of miles away from Europe, and if you go by sea, you need to travel 60,000 to 70,000 miles.

It is unrealistic to bring enough fuel when setting off, which would require a massive supply ship.

Dahua's weapons and equipment are becoming more and more advanced, but its reliance on logistics is also becoming more and more serious.

Without logistical supplies, their army would be unable to move forward.

This is also the main reason why the EU dares to challenge Dahua. They all believe that at this distance, Dahua can't do anything to them in Europe.

But they all ignored one thing. Dahua's overseas military bases had already laid the groundwork for the expedition.

After all, Dahua had formulated a plan to conquer the world many years ago and had already started laying out its plans.

In August, all preparations will be completed.

At this time, the Chinese government also began to announce some war situations in South America and some evil deeds of the European Union. For example, it prevents Dahua from regaining South America.

For example, they wantonly slaughtered South American natives and carried out inhumane slave trade.

This is to guide public opinion and prepare public opinion for the expedition to Europe.

This is actually a bit redundant. From the perspective of the Chinese people, do we still need a reason to attack Europe?

In the whole world, there is nothing but the royal land.

Those barbarians have occupied Dahua's territory, and Dahua wants to take it back. Isn't that reasonable?

Now I heard that the Europeans had formed an alliance to prevent Dahua from regaining their homeland in South America. The people of Dahua suddenly became angry again, shouting that they would flatten Europe and capture Louis XIV and King Charles alive.

When the European ambassador stationed in Dahua saw this situation, he was immediately frightened.

Having been in Dahua for many years, they are well aware of Dahua's habits. Once public opinion leads to hatred against a certain place, Dahua will inevitably use force against these places.

This is true for Annan and India.

Therefore, they all concluded that Dahua was going to use force against Europe.

Combined with some previously obtained intelligence, such as Dahua's military preparations, they were even more certain of this situation.

"It's over, it's really over now."

William wailed. He didn't think those broken ships in the EU were Dahua's opponents. As long as the Chinese army successfully reaches Europe, it will be a disaster for Europe.

Faced with this situation, ambassadors from various countries continued to write letters to the Emperor of Dahua. On the other hand, they also sent frantic telegrams to the country. While reminding them, they also suggested that the country should apologize and compromise with Dahua and never go to war.
