Chapter 22 Pursuit

Essinger's repair work is progressing very quickly, but the really key part is that damn gravity resistance device. If it doesn't resume work, we will have to worry about it here in the Kanmon Strait! I couldn't bear it any longer, so I rushed to the power floor on the ground floor, where Woma was directing emergency repairs.

Compared with the last time I came here, the environment here is much better. During the move, Woma arranged for people to work on the two crawler propellers in turn, and put away some parts for repairs. Now they have basically been repaired, and the gears have been replaced with new ones, so There's not that much noise anymore. However, Essinger's driving device is too huge after all, so there is still some sound, but it is just barely acceptable.

Soon I found Woma near a thruster rack. She was leading a group of people around a gravity resistance device and was busy with a bunch of tools.

"How's the situation?" I asked, standing behind them.

Woma turned around when she heard my voice. She had a screwdriver in her mouth, a wrench in her left hand and an Allen socket in her right hand. There were streaks of lubricant all over her face, and her clothes were black, blue and green. It's like dyeing in a vat.

"Ugh...!" Woma wanted to speak, but found that he still had a screwdriver in his mouth and quickly took it out. "Most of the gravity countermeasures have been repaired, but about a fifth are temporarily beyond repair."

"Can a repaired four-fifths fly alone?"

Woma shook his head: "It's already very difficult to support the suspension, and it's even more impossible to move."

"We have arrived at the beach. How are we going to cross the strait without a suspension device?"

Woma looked over and said: "I can use temporary measures to barely put together those gravity resistance devices, but I can't guarantee how long they can last."

"Then do your best!"

Woma nodded and ran back to continue tinkering with the machine. I reluctantly returned to Essinger's command platform. The coastline is getting closer and closer, and our gravity resistance device has not been repaired yet. How can this not make people worried? What's more, there is Masamoto Matsumoto who is watching and preparing to attack us. I hope they won't attack until we cross the strait. If they do, they can wait until we reach the other side. Essinger's attack on Hiroshima bought time for the players in the rear. Kyushu Island is now basically controlled by Chinese players. As long as we return to Kyushu, we will be basically safe.

Just when I was praying worriedly, the huge black crystal suspended on top of Essinger suddenly flashed, and the voice of the player responsible for monitoring the enemy's situation rang throughout Essinger. "The enemy is attacking, the Japanese are coming. There are many of them, and there is also a fleet!"

"Sure enough, it's still here!" I angrily crushed the list of losses in my hand into a ball and threw it on the ground. "Don't be 'chaotic', everyone is in position, Essinger enters combat mode. Close the isolation door, turn on the weapon power, turn on the defense system, turn on hostile reconnaissance, and prepare the troops in place. All attack units assemble in the reserve cabin."

A series of orders were issued, and a large number of players began to get busy. The good fighting qualities of the Essinger members are now clearly demonstrated. People in the entire city are busy with their own affairs, and there is no chaos. Of course, this has something to do with me notifying everyone of the possible attack in advance.

The armor plates at the corners of Essinger retracted automatically. Then something like an electric fork stuck out. These tall electricity towers were covered with large crystals. With the input of energy, these crystals gradually began to light up, and then colorful energy barriers appeared on the periphery of the city. Layers upon layers covered Essinger. Immediately after the defensive cover was activated, the long and narrow armor on the top deck of the base layer automatically slid open to both sides, and some shiny metal tracks appeared under the impact armor. At the end of the track, large city defense weapons were lifted off the deck. Then the mechanical conversion device connected all these weapons to the track, and then the weapon system automatically entered the attack position. A large number of players command NPC personnel to run onto the deck to participate in the operation of weapons. This can improve the hit rate of weapons. Controlling the city tree alone is a bit too busy.

Rose hurriedly ran out of the teleportation array. "Matsumoto Masaru's people are here, right?"

"Yes." I nodded: "The reconnaissance mosquitoes sent by the Giant Mosquito Outpost discovered the Japanese NPC army. And the number is very large. This time Matsumoto Masaru spent a lot of money."

"I heard that a battleship was also discovered, right?" Rose asked.

"Battleships, they're all fucking battleships!" Before I could answer, I heard King Chuang running over, cursing. "Did you two see that?"

"What did you see?" We looked at King Chuang together.

King Chuang looked like he had seen a ghost. "What did you see? Of course you saw battleships. I just came back from the Giant Mosquito Outpost, and several scout mosquitoes discovered the Japanese battleship group. There are so many, at least a thousand ships."

"Huh?" Rose was startled. "Why are there so many? Warships are not NPCs. If you have money, you have to build them one by one!"

"Ghost!" King Chuang said angrily: "Those damn old Mao's, they are nothing. Matsumoto Masamoto's warships all have Russian ship names. And some warships have Russian lines on them. The emblem of the association. Some of them seem to have just been pried off, and there is a black mark on it."

I understood immediately. "You're saying that all the battleships are active battleships of the Russian guild. They were bought directly by Matsumoto Masaru in one breath, right?"

"Besides this method, is there any other way to get more than two thousand battleships in just twelve hours?"

Rose nodded too. "I think Chuang Wang guessed it. There are many warships in various guilds in Russia. Although the Arctic Ocean is often frozen, it is a large area of ​​water after all. The warships of the Russian guilds are all ready-made, as long as the price paid by Matsumoto Masa is enough Attractive, the Russian guild has no reason not to sell it to him. Besides, doesn’t he have a Russian guild that supports him? If that guild comes forward to help him buy it, then the Russian guild will not refuse."

In fact, I know very well that this is the only possibility. King Chuang said that most of those warships had messy guild badges, and some without badges had just been pried off. It can be seen that these were active warships that had been purchased urgently, and they had not even been painted. It's time to change and go to the battlefield.

Sumei and General Wu happened to walk in, followed by the staff of our guild. Sumei said as she walked: "Masaka Matsumoto's skills are very beautiful, but it's a pity that he is too greedy. If I were put in Masamoto Matsumoto's position, I would never use the money to buy a boat. rb It is certain that the maritime superiority has been lost, and the gap in this regard is too huge. Matsumoto Masamoto should not try to make a comeback. He should first focus on restoring the army and aviation forces in order to save the situation in ground and air battles. If he can drive us away Going to sea, even if our warship Laolao has the maritime advantage, we cannot occupy land ports and we cannot support long-term maritime cruises. We will inevitably withdraw our troops, and the system does not recognize sea occupation rights. It must occupy land to count. But Masamoto Matsumoto He tried to take back control of the sea, but his appetite was too great, but it left us with an opportunity."

General Wu smiled and stroked Su Mei's little head: "If you train me more, you will definitely become a great female general."

"Being a general is not my ideal. Now I am 'forced'." Su Mei looked at us and said: "My ideal is to be an architect, and fighting is not my hobby. But at this stage, I congratulate Matsumoto. His strategy is relatively clear, he is a stronger person and cannot afford to suffer."

Rose said: "Since Matsumoto is congratulating on a comprehensive counterattack on land and sea, we will just go against him. There is no suspense about sea control, and two thousand warships will not make us lose control of the sea. The land aspect needs a little more attention, although Matsumoto Congratulations on spreading the financial resources, but RB players have also donated a lot of funds voluntarily, so the RB army will not be less than last time. Our Isinger is like this now, and its combat effectiveness is no longer at its peak, so we must be careful. According to I think it's best to cross the strait and try not to meet the main force of the Japanese army on Honshu Island. It doesn't matter how we fight after crossing the Kanmon Strait. If we fight here and fail, Isengard will probably not be able to save it. This loss It’s just too big.”

"In that case, let's cross the sea and fight again." Ah Wei said quickly.

Shura Ziyi immediately said: "The problem is that the Japanese people also know that crossing the sea and fighting again will not be good for them. Looking at this posture, they intend to keep Isinger on Honshu Island. It will not be easy for us to escape, right?"

"He has Zhang Liang's plan and I also have a ladder over the wall!" Su Mei said: "Anyway, our guild still has some remaining land forces. We can't confront them head-on. It's okay to leave some to block their advance speed. As for At sea, brother Chuangwang, you'd better keep them out of the Kanmon Strait. Isinger is easily attacked when flying across the strait. After all, the army can't do anything about the city. As long as they don't let them rush into the city and occupy the city, it will be fine. , but the navy has heavy weapons, and now Essinger is riddled with holes and cannot withstand the baptism of shells!"
