With a common sound, the depth charge fell into the water from a height of more than 50 meters and began to sink at an extremely fast speed.There was a loud bang, and a large column of water exploded on the sea surface, but there was no sign of the submarine being hit.Liu Chao's brain is thinking about the form quickly. At this time, anti-submarine has very high requirements on the commander, and he must keep absolute calm.

"The plane circles with a radius of 150 meters, and drops a bomb every ten seconds, with a fixed depth of 18 meters, and throws three rounds." Liu Chao issued the order again.

"Understood." The driver Guo Huai and the bombardier Qi Weiping agreed loudly at the same time.Soon two more depth charges fell into the water one after another, and once again exploded into a column of water that soared into the sky, but there was still no sign of hitting the target.The second and third ones also failed. Liu Chao's forehead began to sweat. Each water patrol 4 water patrol aircraft can only carry 8 depth charges. Now 4 have been dropped and have not yet hit the target. If he hit, he might have to wait for reinforcements.

Because this mission was dealing with old-fashioned submarines, none of the patrol planes carried sonar buoys. After all, those things were too confidential and were required to be recycled.After the submarine is sunk, they still need to land on the sea surface to recover, which obviously will delay for a long time.But without the help of buoy sonar today, they have obviously lost their target. If they return empty-handed after dealing with these old-fashioned submarines, it would be a shame to the shore-based aviation of the Hualan Navy.

After a little thought, Liu Chao ordered loudly: "Drive the plane five kilometers south, and reduce the circle radius to 100 meters. The depth bomb is set at a depth of 50 meters, and one is thrown every five seconds, and four are thrown." , dropped all the depth charges at once.According to his thinking, in order to avoid depth charges, the opponent must dive into the maximum depth of the submarine, while the maximum depth of the C-class submarine produced by the Saar Empire is only 50 meters. After a few minutes of delay, they should have lurked to 50 meters The depth is slowly sailing towards New Zealand, so he issued the order like this.

Facts proved that Liu Chao was right in his bet. When the last depth charge fell into the water, the explosion set off no longer a pure water column, but residue mixed with debris.Soon after, a pile of oil and debris came to the surface, the only remaining mark of the submarine led by Ebdon.

Under the continuous tracking of more than 40 patrol aircraft, the five submarines of the New Zealand Navy were all sunk without any effect, and its naval headquarters was still at a loss.On the three old-fashioned Zhongyuan-class aircraft carriers covering the fleet, batches of old-style carrier-based aircraft that have not yet been refitted took off one after another, and flew towards Auckland, the largest port in New Zealand, a hundred nautical miles away, where the last few ships of the New Zealand Navy Station of torpedo boats.

The New Zealand Navy is stationed at the headquarters in Auckland, and is still waiting for the submarine's reply, but there is a busy tone on the radio.The admirals optimistically believed that it was because the submarines were submerged and ready to attack the Hualan army, so they could not receive radio signals. This is a normal thing in war.In fact, their submarine is indeed in a submerged state, but it is the kind that can never resurface.

The New Zealand Navy Command waited for the good news from the submarine, but what they waited for was an overwhelming bomber fleet.When the torpedo planes and dive bombers with heavy bombs were hanging in the air, they still had no idea whether the other party was an enemy or a friend.

Soon bombs fell on coastal batteries, dock warehouse areas and berths where torpedo boats were moored.The violent explosion destroyed everything that the New Zealand Army relied on. The seemingly solid coastal battery, but because of the backward design concept, did not estimate the threat from the air, and was directly blown up by aerial bombs. fall.

The carrier-based aircraft force will soon expand the scope outward. The North Island of New Zealand is too small, and a few hundred carrier-based aircraft can completely cover it. Soon all the military depots, warehouse areas, communication centers, headquarters, Power plants, transportation hubs, and military camps have all been bombed, and the already weak New Zealand Army has no ability to resist.

When the marines of the Hualan Army landed in the Port of Auckland on the North Island, the thousands of New Zealand troops stationed here resisted for only 10 minutes before declaring their surrender.The Hualan Army adopted a multi-point landing method, quickly occupied the entire island, and took control of the capital Wellington.In just one day, the Governor-General of New Zealand announced its surrender, and the South Island defenders also announced their surrender in accordance with the government's will.

New Zealand quickly surrendered, and the Hualan army was not polite, and directly moved the entire population of the island to the nearest Southern Cross Island for resettlement, and at the same time replaced the Chinese there to live here.Relying on this method, Hualan Nation quickly completed its control of the new territory, and less than a million whites and Maori were filled into the Southern Cross Island with a population of nearly [-] million. .

The offensive has not stopped. With the control of the Zhaini Ocean completely falling into the hands of Hualan, the Saar colonies around the Zhaini Ocean, including Oman, Haralamat, Chagos Islands, Mauritius Island, Seychelles The archipelago, as well as the Comoros Islands and Reunion Island in Gaul, became the spoils of war for the Hualan Army.

The Hualan Army is grabbing territory everywhere, and the Axis Group will not be idle. Soon the Teutonic Kingdom will greatly increase its troops to the southern continent.Because after entering the southern continent at the invitation of Rome last time, the Teutonic Army adopted a brutal policy of repression, fearing that they would wipe out the Libyan resistance.

After tasting the sweetness, Rommel began to attack the west coast again.The puppet regime of the Gaul State was controlled by the Teutonic State, and Rommel was able to easily occupy a large number of colonies that originally belonged to the Gaul State, such as Algeria, Tunisia, West Africa, and Chi Africa.In addition, the Teutonic state also brought Belgium's only colony, the Belgian Congo, into its own rule.For these areas, Rommel carried out brutal armed suppression, which made the armed uprising provoked by the Communist Party much smaller.

Because of the backward weapons and equipment and the low quality of personnel, even though they were trained by instructors from Morocco, it was difficult for these natives of the southern continent who had just picked up their guns to fight against the elite Teutonic regular army.After an analysis by the Moroccan uprising command group, Li Longzhi and Liu Shiqi finally issued an order requiring the rebel armies to break up into pieces, temporarily avoid the edge of the Teutonic army, use the rainforest and mountains to carry out guerrilla warfare, and wait for better opportunities.

Seeing that the Teutonic army took over the colonies of the southern continent and made a lot of money, the Roman state was not to be outdone, and they quickly launched an attack on the Sultan, a colony of the Saar Empire.Although the Roman army is a famous noodle army, after all, its weapons and equipment and logistical supplies are superior to its opponents.On the other hand, after the Saar army fell in Egypt and South Africa, the entire colony in the eastern part of the southern continent had lost the support of the country.

Facing the menacing Roman army, the Saar army, short of guns and ammunition, was forced to retreat.Colonies such as Sudan, Uganda, East Africa, Rhodesia, and Bechuanaland fell into the pocket of the Roman State one by one.Melini proudly announced that he would expel the Saar forces from the southern continent, and let the glory of Rome shine on the entire Mediterranean Sea again.

The two Axis countries were busy encroaching on the colonies of the Southern Continent, but they relaxed their air raids and attacks on the Saar Empire. Churchill, who was supported by the White Eagle, finally breathed a sigh of relief.The once world's most powerful country actually had to rely on the help of the White Eagle Country to survive. Such humiliation made it difficult for the national government to sustain itself.

The Saar Empire quickly contacted the Navy of the White Eagle Kingdom, hoping to jointly launch an offensive against the Teutonic Kingdom. A bold offensive plan began to be secretly planned.At the same time, the war between Colombia and the three neighboring countries has entered a fierce stage.

The first unlucky thing was Venezuela. The Colombian army invaded quickly and quickly occupied the area near Lake Maracaibo.Venezuela also thought that it could rely on its own strength to prevent the opponent's attack by relying on the northern mountainous area.However, after the Colombian army invaded, they were surprised to find that this army was very adaptable to mountain warfare. Its excellent tactics and fierce combat methods were beyond the reach of the lax Venezuelan army.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

This army was well-armed and fiercely offensive, and the Venezuelan army was retreating steadily, without any power to fight back.People all over the world are wondering why such a powerful army has been trained in such a country that was originally a small country.Is it just the credit of the Hualan Army's training?In this way, the Hualan people are too tough.

In fact, even if the Hualan army is excellent, how can it be possible to train equally excellent soldiers in a short period of time.The true face of the Colombian army is actually not the army commanded by its government at all, and the officers and soldiers in it are not even locals.

Although this unit is wearing the clothing of the Colombian army, it is an impostor unit. Their Hualan army is a mercenary army that has always been kept secret. It was once famous in the world as the Gurkha Scimitar Brigade.This foreign legion that once belonged to the Saar Empire disappeared when Nepal was merged into the Hualan Kingdom, but in fact those brave Gurkha troops did not disappear. They became the second largest army in the history of the Hualan Kingdom. A mercenary army.It's only because of the Japanese mercenaries who conquered all over the world and made great military exploits that they are so famous.And the Gurkha Scimitar Brigade, which was hidden in the snow, will reappear in front of the world after this war.

The so-called Gurkha Scimitar Brigade did not have the strength of only one brigade, but got its name because the highest mercenary unit was only at the brigade level.Because of their medium stature and dark skin, Nepalese look similar to mixed-race people in the southern part of the New World, at least it is difficult for Caucasians to tell them apart.After the eight Gurkha scimitar brigades invaded Venezuela, they divided into four groups to occupy the country without giving the other side any time to prepare. The Venezuelan army retreated all the way and quickly gave up one-third of the country.

At the same time, the Japanese mercenaries who once attacked the Zhaini continent also launched an attack. Their goal was Brazil, the largest country in the south of the New World. In addition, the White Wolf Mercenary Group, which had not been out for a long time, began to fight against Ecuador. .As a big country, Hualan Kingdom does not want to be easily involved in the Second World War, at least until the fatigue between the parties is revealed, it does not want to directly intervene.In this situation, Hua Languo could only distance himself.

However, these mercenary troops are not subject to such restrictions. Zhao Shouhong has played mercenaries to the extreme. The several mercenary teams in the hands of Hualan Kingdom do not need Hualan Kingdom to take moral responsibility when fighting anywhere. Like the privateers in the era of sailing battleships, they have become helpless existences for all countries.

Because of these benefits of mercenaries, Hualan Nation sent three mercenaries as foreign aid troops to help Colombia expand its strength. In fact, Hualan Nation penetrated into the backyard of White Eagle Nation and eroded its power.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more critical, while the White Eagle Kingdom was going to fully support the Saar Empire in the war, it was difficult to draw out its hand to send troops to the south in a short time, Roosevelt could no longer sit still.White Eagle State Secretary Hull was soon sent to the east to personally meet with Hualan State President Zhao Shouhong to discuss the situation in the southern part of the New World.

But before Hull arrived in Hualan Country, Zhao Shouhong issued a statement to the whole world. "Democracy in a country lies in the rights of the people, not the rights of one person, one family, and one family name. I have devoted myself to the development of the country for decades. Although I have made no achievements, I have worked hard every day. I dare not slack off every day, and I have established Hualan Kingdom today. Now that the Hualan Kingdom has been established for more than ten years, although I have no talents, I am loved by the people, and I am ashamed to be the president for two terms. Now that I am getting older, I know that I am unable to carry out major national affairs. I hope you will forgive me for participating in the presidential election again.”

It has been 13 years since the establishment of the Hualan People's Democratic Republic. Since the establishment of the state system in 12 to elect the president, Zhao Shouhong has been re-elected twice for a total of [-] years. Now that the third election is coming, Zhao Shouhong suddenly realized a problem.

If a president can be re-elected indefinitely, it is likely to create a dictatorship, and the longer the time, the more stable his position will be.Zhao Shouhong doesn't want the utopian democratic country he built to turn into a dictatorship. In order to stop this situation, he has to make gestures.

Today's Zhao Shouhong seems to have felt the feelings of Washington, the father of the White Eagle Kingdom, to lead by example for the benefit of future generations, and to eliminate all hidden dangers that will lead to the unhealthy development of the country. This is what he wants to do most in his heart.Subsequently, Zhao Shouhong proposed a motion to the National People's Congress, requesting that the constitution be amended to limit the president to a maximum of one re-election.

Zhao Shouhong narrated his thoughts on opposing dictatorship and hoping that the country can develop healthily, and the delegates were very moved. Finally, the National People's Congress passed the proposal unanimously.

"I think President Zhao should be an exception outside the constitution. His wise and decisive career has been proven for decades, and he should be our eternal leader." A representative suddenly proposed a motion, hoping that Zhao Shouhong can make an exception and be re-elected as president.His proposal was supported by many people. After all, with Zhao Shouhong's prestige and status in Hualan, he would not be second-guessed at all.

"Everyone should be clear that the Constitution is the fundamental law of the country, and extrajudicial tolerance is not allowed. As a member of Hualan Kingdom, I am no exception, so I refuse to be re-elected for a second time." Zhao Shouhong's words were very firm, and his tone There is indisputable majesty in it.

"But your political wisdom is obvious to all. We are worried that after you retire, there will be no successors." A representative asked.

"Anyone has room for development. As long as they are given the opportunity, they will do better. If I dominate this position, many talented young people will not be able to exercise. If there is a gap in the country's talents, It is a greater loss for the country and the nation." Zhao Shouhong's words are very reasonable, but they can't erase everyone's worries. All the representatives are thinking about it. They are still worried that after Zhao Shouhong leaves office, there will be an unsatisfactory leader. people.

Zhao Shouhong said: "The constitution has stipulated that to participate in the presidential election, one must have served as an official at or above the city level for two terms, and have managed at least 1000 million people for more than three years before being eligible to run for the election. He is a capable official. The country is already strong, so there is no need to forge ahead. It is much better to have a capable official who is solid and hardworking enough to keep his business. It is much better than me in this position. What's more, we can also form a national think tank so that the president has a complete strategic and tactical reference , which is even more secure. After I retire, I will also join this think tank to make suggestions for the new government.”

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Everyone was relieved to hear that Zhao Shouhong would not leave, and they quickly passed the proposal to establish a national think tank.Zhao Shouhong plugged the last loophole in the social system, and then returned home relaxed.Now it is the early stage of the third general election. Because of Zhao Shouhong's unexpected withdrawal from the election, the Congress Party and the Communist Party also have the idea of ​​being elected president.

The general election this time is more lively than the last two. The three candidates are fighting with each other and expressing their respective ruling ideas, which can be described as lively.But it is a pity that the Hualan Pioneer Party has a very good impression on people, and their candidate Xie Mingjue has also served as the prime minister for many years and has rich experience in governing. He is more competitive than the other two candidates who have only served as the governor. much.What's more, many people think that if the Hualan Pioneer Party is still in power, Zhao Shouhong will help him wholeheartedly, which is the same as continuing to serve as president.

Soon after the general election, Xie Mingjue became the second president in the history of the Hualan People's Democratic Republic, but Yang Xizi was unexpectedly selected as the prime minister, which made many people puzzled.But soon they were relieved, because Yang Xizi is also a veteran of the Vanguard Party, and has served as the governor of several provinces with outstanding achievements, so he can be regarded as a man of action.On the other hand, Zhao Shouhong chose to serve as a national security adviser and was responsible for managing and establishing a national security think tank.

By the time Hull sailed across the ocean and landed in Tianfeng City on an ocean-going ship, the Hualan Kingdom's new presidential election had already ended.Zhao Shouhong chose to retreat to the second line and no longer had the power to run the country, at least on the surface. This made Hull's plan to use Roosevelt's personal relationship to deal with Zhao Shouhong in vain.

In desperation, Hull had no choice but to ask to see the new president of the country, Xie Mingjue.However, in accordance with diplomatic etiquette, indirect state visits should be treated at the same level. Hull is the Secretary of State, so Yang Xizi, who is the Prime Minister, naturally received him.After arriving at the State Guesthouse, the two sides immediately held closed-door talks.

The idea of ​​Hull's arrival is very clear. He hopes that the country of Hualan can restrain the Colombian country it controls for the sake of world peace, and stop launching wars in the southern part of the New World.During Hull's transoceanic period, the "Colombian Army" had destroyed Ecuador and Venezuela, and brought Brazil's Amazon River Basin under its own control, which was equivalent to one-third of Brazil's territory.

If this continues, the Colombian Army, which is gaining momentum, is likely to unify the entire southern part of the New World, which will cause a headache for the White Eagle Nation.How could Yang Xizi agree to such a thing so easily? He euphemistically stated that Hualan Kingdom only helped Colombia handle its internal affairs, and it was not a subordinate relationship. Therefore, he had no right to ask the other party's government to change its policy, nor did he have the right to ask the other party to stop military operations.

Hull naturally knew that this was an excuse, and after some bargaining, the two parties finally finalized a memorandum of understanding between the two countries.The memorandum stipulates that the Hualan Kingdom will restrain Colombia, no new offensives will be launched, and the current division of the country in the southern part of the New World will not be changed.The White Eagle Congress urged Brazil to reach a settlement as soon as possible and cede the land occupied by Colombia.In addition, the White Eagle Country promised not to transfer any of its domestic troops to the southern part of the New World, and at the same time keep the size of the Sulu Islands, Guam and Hawaii from increasing.

The duration of this memorandum is ten years. With this situation, the two sides have temporarily eased the conflict, but this is only temporary.The Hualan Kingdom needs time to digest the territory it has already acquired, but the White Eagle Kingdom has to help the Saar Empire to tide over the difficulties. Both sides know that this battle for hegemony is inevitable. Take the lead in the decisive battle.

The Hualan Kingdom began to change its national policy and spared no effort to support the Axis Powers in their operations. The White Eagle Kingdom also increased its support to the Saar Empire. At the same time, both countries began to reinforce and expand their naval bases in the Eastern Ocean. Build new warships to develop new military technology, and it looks like a big war is coming.

At this time, Zhao Shouhong was not in Beihua City. As the country gradually entered the right track, department officials were responsible for their own duties. Even when he was the president, he didn't need to ask.Except for the issues of national strategic decision-making, there is no need for him to expend more energy.After resigning, Zhao Shouhong was even more unofficial and devoted more energy to the technology industry. At this time, he was in the shipyard in Guanghai City, waiting for an epoch-making submarine to be launched.

A submarine with a displacement of more than [-] tons was lying quietly on the berth, waiting for the moment of launching.[-] tons is not considered a large ship for surface ships, because even the various cruisers used by Hualan Kingdom today rarely have a displacement of less than [-] tons, but the displacement is generally at the level of several hundred tons For the submarine, it is already quite amazing.

That is to say, Hualanguo, who has experience in building 2400-ton Seawolf 4 submarines, dares to build such a large submarine.And the surprise of this submarine is not because of its huge size, but because of its power system, which is the latest nuclear power pressurized water reactor developed by Base No. [-].

As far as power is concerned, this kind of reactor is not perfect, but for the sake of safety, Zhao Shouhong specially designed a series of insurance measures for it, including electronic scanning, self-inspection system, automatic sealing system, anti-radiation monitoring system, etc. In addition, there is a special electrolysis water oxygen production system.

This 90-megawatt nuclear reactor uses turbine-electric propulsion and uses a single-shaft five-blade propeller.The shape of the hull is different from the popular barracuda shape in the world, but an elongated teardrop shape. The reason for this design is that this submarine pays more attention to the underwater performance. Its surface speed is 12 knots and the underwater speed is 25 knots.

Nuclear reactors can provide a nearly unlimited source of energy without relying on oxygen, making it possible for submarines to submerge for the first time.Relying on the prior supply of supplies, and the oxygen and fresh water provided by the electrolytic water oxygen generation system, this submarine can provide the various needs of the 75 crew members who can dive underwater for up to three months.From now on, the submarine's submerged time under water will no longer depend on the capacity of the submarine's battery and the amount of oxygen it can carry, but on the physical fitness of the crew.

After a low-key ceremony, the dock was filled with seawater, and the huge nuclear submarine was slowly sent into the water and docked at the military port.Zhao Shouhong looked at his country's first nuclear submarine with a smile on his face.He paced back and forth beside the submarine, checking the manufacturing process of the submarine.
