Chapter 1129(1/2)
"Sir, we have news. Our aircraft carrier fleet will annihilate the Hebrew squadron.
Two enemy battleships and six destroyers were sunk.
Our ship lost one aircraft and one pilot was killed.
It was caused by the failure of the carrier-based aircraft to land in darkness."
The telecommunications section chief spoke with excitement and rushed into Stewie's office without even knocking on the door.
"Oh!" Li Xiao took the telegram, looked at it a few times and smiled faintly.
He threw the telegram directly to the excited Stewie!
When news of the attack on the island of Malta reached Ming Dynasty, public opinion almost exploded.
In particular, some reporters exposed the Ming Dynasty's sale of warships.
People know that the warships that attacked Malta were manufactured by the Ming Dynasty. The cannonballs that landed on Malta were also sold by the Ming Dynasty to the Hebrews.
This news was published in the newspapers, and public opinion immediately exploded.
Groups of patriotic students gathered at the Meridian Gate, holding banners and shouting slogans, demanding severe punishment for corrupt officials in the General Staff who support the enemy.
Selling the most advanced warships to the empire, and even selling the cannonballs, is nothing other than capitalizing on the enemy.
Within a day, Stewie's mouth blistered.
Li Xiao was responsible for the incident, but no one dared to blame Li Xiao. Therefore, Shi Dewei, the chief of staff, became a ready-made scapegoat.
In just one day, some people have already shouted slogans to kill the traitors in the country.
Kill the traitors!
For Shi Dewei, a heirloom of poetry and calligraphy, this was tantamount to a devastating blow.
But I still can’t tell others the pain I feel in my heart!
This kind of mood almost depressed Stevie to death.
But they didn't expect that just one day later, another news came back. This time, it was a standard victory.
Stewie held the telegram in his hand, which was trembling with excitement, without saying a word.
I was so excited that I couldn't speak.
"Immediately arrange for the newspaper office to publish the report. The Ming Dynasty has won a great victory." Li Xiao smiled and looked at Shi Dewei.
Once this news reaches the newspapers, the pressure on Stewie will be much less.
"I've thought up the topics for you. The chief of general staff planned to defeat the ugly people. Hebrew lost his wife and lost his troops." Li Xiao saw Shi Dewei's appearance and couldn't help but tease him.
"Thank you, Marshal!" Shi Dewei was very grateful. He knew that Li Xiao was helping him regain public opinion.
After all, with the reputation of being a traitor on your head, the end will usually not be good.
However, according to Li Xiao's packaging, Shi Dewei became a Confucian general who was strategizing and winning from thousands of miles away.
If you step on it and raise it, the consequences will be heaven and earth.
"However, it seems that the aircraft carrier's night navigation training is still not feasible.
Send a telegram to Ningyuan Training Center, and be sure to conduct more aircraft carrier night landing training. Even if there is danger, you must train.
Don't be afraid of crashing a plane. It doesn't matter if you crash a few planes.
When we are actually on the battlefield, it seems that we are only worried now.
Not only did we lose the pilot, we also had to repair the aircraft carrier, and we couldn’t afford to lose time."
Li Xiao sighed helplessly.
There is a cement aircraft carrier in Ningyuan that has no power unit. Navigation basically relies on tugboat towing, which has no practical value.
But this is just a faggot, only responsible for the takeoff and landing training of carrier-based aircraft.
There is no need for a cement aircraft carrier to go out to fight!
"Yes! Now we can't afford to delay, the telegrams from Constantinople asking for help are coming one after another.
When the Hebrews know the news of the destruction of the fleet, they will probably attack even more frantically because they know that there is not much time left for them."
Stewie quickly regained the composure that a chief of general staff should have, and his mind quickly returned to the battlefield.
"I hope they bring enough decks!"
The deck of the Ming Dynasty aircraft carrier is not made of steel, but a kind of teak from Southeast Asia.
This kind of teak wood takes fifty or sixty years to mature.
Not afraid of moisture, mildew, salt spray, and high temperature resistance.
The most important thing is that it is dense and strong.
Aircraft carriers sail on the sea, and the flight deck area is very large. Rainy or cloudy days are better, but if it is a sunny day, the people below the deck will suffer.
The temperature of the sun burning the steel deck is enough to cook the people in the cabin below. Maybe the ammunition will also detonate.
There was no choice but to lay a twenty centimeter thick wooden deck on top of the aircraft carrier's steel deck.
According to Li Xiao's idea, it should be laid thicker.
But after the budget report came in, Li Xiao had no choice but to give up the idea.
It’s so damn expensive!
However, the advantage of being expensive is that it can be repaired quickly after damage. And the repair efficiency is much higher than that of steel decks.
"When they set off, the comprehensive supply ship Weishan Lake followed them. I think they will not take less of this kind of thing."
Stewie said with a smile.
He is a careful person, and he can often think of small things that Li Xiao doesn't care about and personally deal with them.
The next day, a report appeared in the newspaper: "The Chief of General Staff planned to defeat the ugly group, the Hebrews lost their wives and lost their troops - our navy defeated the Hebrew Navy and sank two battleships."
Sunk two enemy battleships and took six destroyers with them.
The news spread like the wind immediately!
Yesterday, the students who held up banners calling for severe punishment of corrupt officials and the execution of traitorous generals are a little confused today!
The reversal happened so fast that it was almost unacceptable.
"You students, you know how to fool around.
You understand this time!
This is all the strategy of the chief of general staff and the commander-in-chief.
The Hebrews spent money to buy our warships, but they were sunk as soon as they encountered our navy?
These young people just know how to make noises."
At a food stall in Beijing, an old man sitting at the table was drinking tofu while looking at the students who were making new banners.
"Master Liu! You are so right.
These idiots are just talking nonsense.
Otherwise, as the old saying goes, if you don't have hair on your lips, you won't be able to get things done.
Who is the Chief of General Staff? The martial arts in the sky and the stars in the world.
As for those Hebrews in the west, who would be our opponents?
Kill eight of their warships this time, and next time, our Ming army will destroy their country."
A middle-aged man drank soy milk and ate fried dough sticks.
"Haha! Man! When did our Ming army ever lose a battle?
My cousin's brother-in-law's brother followed the commander in his attack on India.
The Indian soldiers can't defeat our Ming Dynasty troops at all.
Their guns are not as good as ours, and their people are not as strong as ours.
As soon as there is a battle, you know how to roar and charge.
The machine guns on our side are firing, and they’re all fucking standing straight.”
The speaker was a young man in his twenties. He was spitting while eating and was full of confidence in the Ming army.
"Haha! Boy, you are too young to know.
Twenty years ago, let alone places as far away as India, even the Tatars in Liaodong did not take our Ming Dynasty seriously.
If it weren't for the commander-in-chief, no one would be sure that our capital city would be taken over by the Tatars.
At that time, the emperor was scared away.
We young and old men in Sijiu City have no confidence in our hearts. We don’t know if this capital city can be saved!
Finally, the commander-in-chief came and had a bloody battle with the Tatar soldiers outside the city.
To be continued...
