October 26, 1911, Republic 2752, in the waters of the Truk Islands in the Western Pacific.
A fleet with the dazzling "rich gold" is training on the ocean near Truk Island.
This fleet is not only brightly painted, but also quite diverse.
As the core of the fleet are two super-dreadnoughts.
This is the newly formed Pacific Task Force of the Chinese Navy.
This fleet is directly under the Naval Command and is not affiliated with the Three Seas Fleet.
Its level is half a level lower than the Three Seas Fleet.
Their main base is arranged in the Zhoushan Islands.
The main ships of the Pacific Task Force are: 2 "Fuxi-class" battleships, 2 "Qinling-class" large cruisers, 2 "Qingcheng-class" heavy cruisers, 8 "Zhuhai-class" destroyers, 4 "Wuchang-class" frigates, and a dozen auxiliary ships.
That's right, all six battleships returning home this time have been assigned to the Pacific Task Force.
Not only that, but eight newly commissioned "Zhuhai-class" destroyers were also equipped with them.
Even the fuel supply ships, ammunition supply ships, minesweepers, maintenance ships and other auxiliary ships are all brand new, some of which were modified from commercial ships, but they were not completed long ago.
That said, this is a fleet that's completely new from head to toe.
The most depressing ones were the leaders of the Three Seas Fleet.
They fought fiercely and red-faced over the ownership of the six large ships, but in the end no one got it.
In accordance with the Central Military Commission's guidelines that "new and cutting-edge ships should be used intensively," these cutting-edge ships were gathered together to form a new Pacific Task Force.
The commander, political commissar, and chief of staff are all the original members of the East China Sea Fleet.
However, in order to balance everyone's psychology, the leadership teams of each battleship are still elite soldiers drawn from the Three Seas Fleet.
Because the Pacific Task Force is all cutting-edge ships, this time they went to the Marshall Islands for training, and they brought almost all their belongings with them. 18 combat ships, 10 auxiliary ships including 2 fuel supply ships, 2 ammunition supply ships, 2 comprehensive supply ships, 2 minesweepers, 1 maintenance ship, and 1 hospital ship At this time, the fleet was practicing a battle line duel.
The four battleships Fuxi, Nuwa, Qinling, and Taihang formed a battle line.
The two heavy cruisers Qingcheng and Emei led eight destroyers to cruise near the battle line.
Four The frigate protected the auxiliary ships and stayed behind as onlookers.
"Security position 112, distance 16500, wind speed 12, wind direction 210" Following the instructions from the flagship, the main turrets of the four battleships rotated at a speed of 1.5 degrees per second under the action of the motors, and adjusted their firing speed at the same time. horns and charges.
After a while, each ship sent out "ready" signals one after another.
"Report to the commander, please give instructions when all ships are ready to fire," the fire control officer reported to Gao Yujie.
Gao Yujie nodded and ordered: "A volley of fire."
"Boom, boom, boom", the 24 360mm main guns and 24 280mm main guns of the four battleships suddenly sprayed out fireworks dozens of meters long, making a deafening roar.
There were hundreds of conspicuous buoys distributed on the sea more than ten kilometers away.
These buoys are deliberately formed into olive-shaped circles to simulate the top-down shape of a warship.
There are also a dozen pontoons like ship models placed in the middle and around each circle.
These are signal transmitters used to display hit status.
In just an instant, these simulated targets were submerged by dozens of water columns.
Although the targets were completely invisible to the naked eye, the signal transmitter on the buoy and the radar on the ship still faithfully transmitted the shooting results back.
"Reporting to the commander, the summary of the hits just now is as follows: 5 hits, 7 near misses," the fire control officer said with an excited tone.
Gao Yujie nodded without changing her expression and said, "It's a bit better than last time."
He was about to continue issuing orders when suddenly the translator ran over: "Report to the commander, there is an urgent call from headquarters."
Gao Yujie took it and took a look, her face suddenly darkened, and said to the herald: "Immediately order all ships to stop training.
Change to sailing formation."
"Commander, what's wrong?"
Captain Gong Yu asked quickly.
Gao Yujie handed the message to the political commissar and others for circulation, and said to everyone on the bridge: "The day before yesterday, an anti-China riot broke out in Hanoi, Vietnam, and hundreds of people were killed.
The headquarters ordered us to immediately go to the waters of Vietnam to provide armed protection.
"overseas Chinese" Then, a series of orders began to be issued.
"Route determined, target off Cam Ranh Bay, xxx north latitude, xxx east longitude" "Combat ships above destroyers immediately set sail in cruise formation, increasing their speed to 18 knots.
Four frigates were responsible for recovering training equipment, protecting auxiliary ships, and then rushed to the sea outside Cam Ranh Bay to join the main force."

Following the order transmitted by the radio wave, more than ten warships began to move at the same time.
They flexibly turned their bows and drew white arcs on the sea.
The entire fleet turned left at the same time.
Then, a long cruise queue was formed according to the predetermined position.
The two heavy cruisers Qingcheng and Emei rushed forward with two destroyers to form the leading queue.
The four battleships Qinling, Taihang, Fuxi, and Nuwa followed in sequence.
Forming a column, following the leading formation, the remaining six destroyers were located on both sides and behind the main fleet column.
Immediately, the several-kilometer-long formation galloped towards Vietnam at a speed of eighteen knots, cutting through the waves.
In fact, they can be faster.
Although the Fuxi-class battleship is based on the New Mexico-class from the original time and space, it has been modified by adding a bulbous bow and changing the original cruiser stern to a large square stern.
Just these two changes can at least Increase the speed of 57.
In addition, the underwater line type has also been redesigned.
When the Yankees designed the original version, fluid mechanics had just sprouted, so you can imagine how efficient it can be.
The Fuxi-class underwater line shape has gone through a lot of simulation calculations by Xiao Feifei, coupled with pool model testing, so the speed has been improved.
Finally, there is the propeller.
This thing is usually in the water and is very inconspicuous, but it has a great impact on the speed of the ship.
The propeller design of the German warships was very poor.
At the same tonnage, the more powerful German ships were more than one knot slower than the British ships.
However, compared with the various high-efficiency propellers of later generations, the British design at this time was nothing.
After the Fuxi-class and other six warships returned to China, they took advantage of the final outfitting to replace the propellers.
This propeller also went through Xiao Feifei's simulation calculations and was at least twice as efficient as the propellers of the same era.
Although the power of the current Fuxi-class has not increased at all, its real speed far exceeds the design speed, reaching 25.5 knots.
The Qinling class reached 28 knots, and the fastest Qingcheng class even reached a high speed of nearly 29 knots.
Because these six warships were built by American shipyards, their design speeds were calculated according to the conventions of the time, coupled with the use of old-fashioned propellers, so there is such a big gap.
The Zhuhai-class destroyer is made domestically, so its design speed of 30 knots is the real data.
In other words, the Pacific Task Force can now move at an altitude of 25 knots.
The reason why it does not run that fast is to keep it secret.
Although the Americans ran a speed of 24.7 knots during the sea trial, it was only a sea trial, and the propeller was not changed.
The real speed of the Fuxi class they built was about 24 knots, but this was enough.
Besides, the Americans are not stupid, nor are they stupid enough to publicize the "real speed" of the Fuxi class everywhere.
They have already issued a gag order to those participating in the sea trials.
Therefore, in the eyes of the uninformed powers, the current Pacific Task Force traveling at a speed of 18 knots is already very fast.
Although the maximum speed is 22 knots, this maximum speed cannot be maintained for too long, and the crew will be overwhelmed.
A speed of about 70 is quite good for long-distance voyages.
Chengdu Air Force Base.
"Rookies, listen up," Captain Jin Hai was lecturing a group of new pilots: "Our superiors ordered us all to transfer to Wenshan Airport and prepare armed escorts for overseas Chinese.
Please pay attention, there may be actual combat this time, so stay alert." , if anyone forgets what he usually learns during the battle, you will understand."
"Don't worry, Instructor Jin.
We will kick the monkeys and roosters' butts hard."
Several pilots shouted excitedly.
"Okay, let me prepare everything.
We will set off in twenty minutes.
I remind you that this transfer distance is long and the flight time is relatively long.
Get rid of the poop and urine as soon as possible, otherwise it will only be in diapers.
Dismissed " Jin Hai gave the order and the rookies rushed to the toilet.

"Squadron leader, what are these rookies doing?
We have to be babysitters," an old bird couldn't help but scream.
"Ask the commander.
If you don't want to go, you don't have to go."
Jin Hai rolled his eyes at him.
Another veteran pretended to be mature and said: "It's good for rookies to see blood, but you can't do it just by practicing."
Jin Hai looked at his watch and ordered: "Okay, stop talking nonsense.
All 23 Squadrons are here, and everyone is ready to take off."
After that, he ran towards his plane.
Half an hour later, nearly 200 fighter planes took off from the Chengdu Air Force Base.
They formed a dozen wedge-shaped formations in squadron units and flew south.
Jin Hae's squadron flew at the front as the leader.
He turned on the radio and adjusted the frequency to all: "Rookies, pay attention to the Sichuan-Yunnan Railway below.
If you accidentally get lost, just fly along the railway.
Even if you can't fly to Kunming, you can still fly back to Chengdu."
"I know, Instructor Jin" At this time, an old bird's voice sounded: "Hey, look below, it's our military train, oh my god, and there are also train guns, there are 5 big ones.
I see that this time the top is ready to fight."
Jin Hai stretched out his head and took a look.
Sure enough, below were two military trains heading towards Kunming.
The distance between the two military trains was about 5 kilometers.
The one in front was obviously an armored train, while the one behind was even more exaggerated, with 5 large guns hanging on it. caliber train gun.
"Looking like this, it should be the Army's 310mm heavy train gun.
This should be the first train artillery regiment of our army."
Jin Hai identified it carefully and said, "Okay, rookies, don't just look at the ground, be careful.
Fall down" He found that the officers and soldiers on the military column below were also waving to them, so the Air Force aircraft also shook their wings in response
