Valley Emperor

This second marine **** division has two first-class marine combat vehicles and six second-class marine combat vehicles designed and ordered by the army itself.

Don't ask why 'vehicle' is used as a unit, these are all chariots, but they are called one or two.

The first-class marine chariot designed by the army has a displacement of more than 2,000 tons, and the second-class marine chariot has a displacement of more than 1,000 tons. To put it bluntly, this thing is actually the army version of the cruiser and frigate.

The Army said that it was designed by itself, but in fact, it took the plan given by the shipyard and changed it casually before placing the order.

It's just that there is only one marine **** division, because the army did it secretly at the beginning, and everything was spent in the name of steam chariots. , but did not expect that an inattentive army would come up with such six so-called maritime chariots.

The result was that he directly quarreled in front of the Holy Son of Heaven Li Xuan. Li Xuan also did not want to see the army doing nothing but the navy, but he wanted to maintain the relationship between the army and the navy, so it was impossible to really cut off the army's hand. .

So here comes the next one.

As a result, the Army cannot continue to build marine combat vehicles in the future, but the existing six ships have been retained, and they have the authority to update one-to-one. When these battleships are old, the Army can use new ones one-to-one. Warships are updated.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Datang Army is capable of ocean-going combat and escort.

It is a battleship, no, it should be said that there are only six chariots at sea.

Therefore, Gu Zhen said that he did not need naval escort, which was naturally correct.

But that's just a thought. It is naturally impossible for the army to really send the second marine **** division.

There are so many ships, and it is enough to put them on the mainland just in case.

Really sent to overseas territories and the navy to compete for combat missions and military exploits, so that if someone in the navy is too hot, they will pull out a ticket of warships to destroy this maritime **** division.

Anyway, in the vast sea, the navy really wants to destroy this sea **** division, and it is estimated that the army does not know what happened.

In addition, the Army has been negotiating with the Navy in recent years, trying to bring all the inland gunboats in the Navy into the hands of the Army, and there is no need to stimulate the Navy too much.

However, the navy of the inland warships will not give in easily.

It is said that the inland water fleet is the starting force of the Datang Navy. The Datang Navy has a long history of the inland water fleet. The inland water fleet and the ocean fleet together are the complete Datang Navy, and they are indispensable.

However, the army said that these inland gunboats are all supporting ground troops in combat, and their army is the main body of ground combat. It is more convenient to command and manage these inland gunboats under the navy.

However, this matter has been arguing for more than 20 years, and the Navy has always refused to let go.

In the end, the army had no choice but to start from scratch, and successively formed several army river defense units.

It is also not the name of the fleet, but the Jiang Defense Regiment and the Jiang Defense Division. For example, it is stationed in Jiujiang and controls the Poyang Lake and Xiangjiang River. For example, it is stationed in the middle and upper reaches of the Yellow River and goes deep into the Hetao area. , Another example is the Sixth River Defense Division, which is stationed at Lake Balkhash and rivers in Central Asia, Tumi Province and other regions.

All in all, the army currently has a total of eight river defense divisions and thirteen independent river defense regiments. It has about 200 inland warships of various tonnages, but most of them are small ships of less than 100 tons.

Moreover, the army is not professional enough to play warships after all, so these inland warships of the river defense force will often have problems even in daily use, but even so, now the army will never ask the inland fleet of the navy for help unless it is a last resort. Provide artillery support to what Tartar.

Why does the Army have to launch a second Indian expedition this year? It's not because some troops on the front line in India have been stupid for half a year. Not to mention losing battles, they have to rely on the navy to escape more than 100 people. face.

Hao Bainian, who has retired, complained to his friends privately about this matter: This **** can make the Navy laugh for ten years!

This is how to lose face and not get it back, and this is the second Indian expedition.

Just like the Army is striving for self-reliance, if the Navy wants to do something overseas, such as fighting Morocco, the Navy will usually do it on its own. After all, the Navy has a Marine Corps, but its strength is a little less, and its combat effectiveness is worse than that of the Army. point, but the Navy would rather send sailors and artillerymen from battleships ashore to fight when necessary, rather than ask the army on the side to help.

In short, both the army and the navy would rather die than surrender!

The second Indian expedition this time was not the action of the army family. Although it was proposed by the army at the beginning, the navy also wanted to take the opportunity to step in and brush its presence.

After all, the navy has always supported overseas expansion. As long as it is an expansion by sea, it is natural to be inseparable from their navy.

The navy is happy to let the army devote part of its energy to overseas expansion, rather than slaughtering the Tatars in Central Asia.

Fighting in Central Asia, it really has nothing to do with their navy.

Therefore, under the auspices of the Son of Heaven, this campaign was planned by the Joint Operations Command. The army and navy cooperated with each other, the army was responsible for ground operations, and the navy was responsible for coastal artillery support, sea escort, and maintenance of supply lines.

Major General Gu Zhen and his 18th Division did not stay on Ceylon Island for long. Ten days later, they set off again for Tomu, together with a marine regiment of the Navy.

Obviously, the navy is ready to go for military exploits.

The huge transport fleet set sail again, and then arrived in Goa. After a little resupply, it continued north until it reached Bermu.

Bermu State, previously called Bom Bahia by the Portuguese, means beautiful bay, and later called Bombay.

After Datang occupied this place, according to the name given by the Portuguese, the transliteration was called 'Pomu', and later, with the expansion of the site, it was upgraded to a state.

Bomu Prefecture is one of the most important overseas territories of the Tang Empire on the peninsula continent of India, and it is also the strategic support point of the Tang Empire in western India.

The overseas territories of the Datang Empire in India have already grown in size for more than 30 years, including a large area of ​​coastal areas on the Indian Peninsula. Among them, the largest and best developed is Gehe Prefecture, which has an area of ​​200,000 square meters. It covers about 100,000 square kilometers, which is already half the size of the mainland Guangdong.

But the population is not much, only more than 200,000 people.

After all, the difficulty of overseas immigration is still relatively large, and the Datang Empire is immigrating to overseas territories around the world. In recent years, the focus of immigration has been the Americas. For immigrants from India and other regions, the people are allowed to go by themselves. There will be subsidies, but not much.

There are only more than 200,000 people spread over 100,000 square kilometers of land, which naturally seems to be small and large.

In addition to Gehe Prefecture, the second most important strategic location is naturally Ceylon Island. Since occupying Ceylon Island, the Datang Empire has attached great importance to this place, even more than Gehe Prefecture. In order to localize the whole island, many of the local indigenous people were transported to the Indian Peninsula across the strait.

Now there are only Tang people on the island, but there are still not many people. The total number is only about 80,000 people, and a considerable number of them are army and navy soldiers and their families. In addition, they serve the military. Navy warships provide maintenance services to staff and their families too.

The other part is the merchants and their families, and the other part is the merchants of the way.

In fact, there are not many pure agricultural immigrants, only 30,000 to 40,000 people.

Outside of Gehe state and Ceylon Island, the third place is the Bomu state, and then there are places such as Gedah state and Goa state.

Among them, Pomu Prefecture was originally the territory of the Portuguese. After the Tang-Portuguese Indian Ocean battle, Datang accepted the Portuguese colonies all over the Indian Ocean coast~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Pomu is also located in it.

It is worth noting that now Bomu, and later Mumbai, is still a small archipelago composed of seven islands that are very close to the mainland.

It is not connected to the mainland of the Indian peninsula itself, and requires bridges or ships to pass.

Bomu City or Bomu Port is actually a small archipelago, but the entire Bomu Prefecture is a relatively large place.

Datang has never been stagnant in developing territories overseas. After occupying a port, it will continue to explore the surrounding area, and then establish immigrant towns and develop land.

Today's Pomu Prefecture is about tens of kilometers around, and there are about 50,000 people living in the empire.

At the same time, it is also the headquarters of the Indian First Army, which has about 10,000 troops stationed in the state.

When Ge Chengbin and the others accompanied the fleet and escorted the transport fleet to Bomu Port, Colonel Ge Chengbin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he and Colombo were dispatched to the 43rd Squadron after arriving on Ceylon Island, the 43rd Squadron was the main fleet of the navy to cooperate with the army this time, so he had to lead Colombo again. The No. 1 continued to perform the **** mission and came to the port of Tomu.

Successfully arrived at the port of Tomu, which means that the **** mission from the mainland until now is finally over.

Not only did Colonel Ge Chengbin relax, but his subordinates were also smiling, discussing where they should go after landing.

Going ashore to eat and drink is a must.

It is also reasonable to go to the blue building to listen to the songs and tunes, and appreciate the exotic customs.

Looking at the appearance of his subordinates, Colonel Ge Chengbin smiled: The morale is not bad!
