Chapter 450 Deploying Africa, the conflict intensifies

Twenty kilometers away from the Djibouti coastline, there are more than 100 warships parked on the sea surface of Tajula Bay, stretching for hundreds of square miles, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

The golden dragon flag fluttered in the wind, and the colorful flags called it. This is a battle strike group of the Indian Ocean Fleet of the Imperial Chinese Navy.

It includes four fearless battleships, four fearless battleships, six heavy cruisers, twelve light cruisers, seventeen destroyers, eleven frigates, eight submarines, one communication and reconnaissance ship, one hospital ship, sixty-two warships, eleven supply ships, and two tugboats.

At this moment, the city of Djibouti was in a mess, with houses collapsed, and the streets were covered with huge deep pits. They were crammed by at least one shell of 330 mm or more. The surroundings were charred and even the stones melted. It is conceivable that if someone was here, they would have been blown up and ruined and the corpse would not exist.

The fire is burning, and the black smoke is rolling.

The violent shelling of last night not only killed the Ethiopian army, but the citizens who originally lived in the city had already escaped from the city, making it a dead city.

Not far from Djibouti, across the banks of the Loyada River, is the British-French Concession.

At this moment, the British and French troops built long defensive positions accumulated with sandbags on the river bank, and the soldiers all looked like they were facing a great enemy.

"What a terrifying gun fire!"

"There are also 343mm caliber naval guns. How do I feel that the power of the naval guns of the Imperial Empire far exceeds that of our British Empire's same caliber naval guns? Do you have this feeling?"

"I think so too! I can't imagine that the entire city of Djibouti was razed to the ground in just a dozen rounds of firepower volleys!"

"We are enemies of the Chinese Empire. What should we do if their naval guns suddenly turn their guns and aim at us to fire their guns?"

On the defensive positions in the concession area, the British officers and soldiers looked pale, worried that the Imperial Chinese Navy would hit their heads in the next moment.

The French army on the other side was also so scared by the fierce offensive of the Chinese Empire Navy.

In the command center of the frontier positions, the highest commanders of the Djibouti Concession between Britain and France met here to discuss the military operations of the Divine Army of the Empire of the Chinese Empire.

"Is it necessary to use such a huge fleet for a mere small country in Ethiopia? I think the Chinese Empire is too much of a problem!"

Mazhu, the governor of Djibouti in France, said mockingly without hesitation.

"There is an old Chinese saying that lions fight rabbits and use all their strength. Although it is just a small Ethiopia, after all, it defeats Italy's military invasion. The Chinese Empire may not want to capsize in the gutter. If it is also defeated by the Ethiopian army, then the Chinese Empire will be ruined in the future, so the Chinese Empire will be so cautious and important."

Blair, the governor of Djibouti in England, looked cautious. After all, the British Empire and the Chinese Empire had fought for more than 20 years, and they all knew each other a lot.

"But, did the Chinese Empire really vent its anger for Italy? I always think it's not that simple!"

Ma Zhu sneered: "You are too worried! The Chinese Empire is probably going to carry out another large-scale military training! Look at the Balkan War. It is obvious that the Chinese Empire can destroy the Balkan Allied Army in minutes as long as it dispatches elite troops, but they just don't do that. Instead, they send a group of new recruits, mostly student soldiers, and they call it training. I think it's a waste of resources. So many college students don't use to invent and economic development, but let them serve in the military. It's really a waste of brains!"

Blair smiled bitterly and said, "You just don't know this. The Chinese Empire really has no shortage of more than 100,000 students. You should know that the Chinese Empire has completed the popularization of high school education and a huge empire with a population of nearly 400 million. It was the illiterate and backward country that was at the bottom of the world more than 20 years ago. Now education has reached the forefront of the world. It is scary to think about it."

Ma Zhu continued to mock him: "Rogues are not scary, they are afraid that they are educated! The Chinese Empire is a complete big gangster!"

Blair smiled and said, "I agree with this sentence! But I am afraid that the Chinese Empire is really hooligan. After fighting Ethiopia, I will stay here and stop leaving!"

Ma Zhu asked back: "What does this sentence mean?"

Blair pointed to the north and said, "You forgot that there is our Suez Canal there! Once the Allies and the Allies go to war, our Allies' fleet will inevitably go to the Pacific Ocean, meet with the US and Japanese fleets, and kill the main naval fleet of the Empire of the Empire. Then we must go to the Suez Canal. If the Empire of the Empire does not leave in Djibouti, it will be the outlet of the Suez Canal. If the Empire of the People's Republic of China deploys naval forces here, deploys radium on a large scale, and blocks the waterway, you can imagine it!"

Mazhu snorted coldly, the Suez Canal belongs to the British and has nothing to do with them French. He said distractedly: "Even if this place is blocked, can we still detour the Cape of Good Hope in Africa?"

Blair rolled his eyes and said, "It will take three more months for Africa to spare the Cape of Good Hope. Do you know what will happen in three months? The Chinese Empire may first concentrate its efforts to destroy the US-Japan-Pacific Combined Fleet, and then turn around and ambush our British-France and Russia Combined Fleet."

Now Ma Zhu understood that this is a typical time difference tactic!

But is the Chinese Empire that smart?

The answer is obviously yes!

"Oh no, if you really guess it, it's going to be troublesome!"

"I have reported it to Downing Street, I don't know if it will be taken seriously!"

"No, I have to report like the Palace of Versailles. His Majesty the Emperor is wise and powerful, and he will definitely understand!"

...

"Look! The Chinese Empire's Divine Army has begun to land!"

At this time, a soldier pointed at the sea in the distance and suddenly shouted loudly.

Blair and Mazhu looked over at the same time and immediately gasped.

Thousands of small boats were seen dropping off the warship, carrying teams of Chinese Emperor's soldiers carrying guns and live ammunition, rushing towards the coastline quickly.

"What a fast landing craft!"

"Did you find out! The landing craft of the Chinese Emperor* is very special!"

Following Blair's finger direction, Ma Zhu was also shocked.

I saw that the Chinese Emperor's landing troops were riding a new landing craft, with a flying scissor bow, splitting the waves at high speed, and stabilizing the direction and center of the hull. There was an inclined baffle above the bow, which should be used to block bullets. There was an opening in the center of the baffle and a heavy machine gun fired, which could suppress the shore defense forces.

"This speed is probably 35 knots!"

"What is this landing ship!"

Blair frowned and replied: "The biggest threat to the landing ship comes from the speed of the ship. The slower the ship's speed, the easier it is to be destroyed! I didn't expect that the Chinese Emperor* already has such a powerful landing craft. Judging from the speed, it only takes twenty minutes to rush ashore."

Mazhu suddenly said with envy: "If our French army landing craft landing at this distance, it will take at least two hours to dock! It seems that we have accidentally discovered a new equipment from the Chinese Empire!"

Blair nodded and immediately called the guards, asking him to take a camera and take a few photos as close as possible.

The new landing equipment of the Chinese Empire must be known as soon as possible, otherwise, in the future, when landing and seizing islands, they will inevitably suffer a great loss.

An hour later, the Emperor of China had already sent a reorganized Marine Warfare Brigade to the beach.

Blair kept pinching his watch, his heart trembling.

"A brigade's troops were all onshore in just one hour. This ability to quickly land on the beach is so terrifying!"

"This is just because the Ethiopian army scared away. If it were our French team defending, they would not be able to catch it for an hour."

Mazhu immediately bragged.

Blair just smiled slightly and did not refute, but he snorted coldly in his heart. What's so great about the French army? He was beaten to the ground by the German army.

At this time, the first batch of landing troops of Emperor China were building a defensive position on the beach, and they were very cautious.

Ma Zhu suddenly laughed: "Look, this is the legendary most powerful Chinese Empire Shen Ce Army in the world? It is still building a beach-head defense position? I think they are not as good as the local security team!"

Blair asked in confusion: "It's nothing wrong for people to build beach fortifications!"

Ma Zhu snorted coldly: "Who will the score be against? If we fight against our powerful French army, the Chinese Emperor* is so cautious, that is correct! But now the Chinese Emperor* faces even the world's five-rate powers. The army has long evacuated Djibouti, and it's just a piece of empty space. The Chinese Emperor* dare not rush in directly. It's not timid, it's nothing! If our French army had already rushed in and chased the Ethiopian army for hundreds of kilometers!"

Blair shook his head slightly and said, "It's not wrong to be careful!"

Soon, the Emperor of China completed the beach fortifications, and the pilot reconnaissance battalion began to advance in depth to the city of Djibouti.

As a result, the Chinese Emperor* had just rushed into Djibouti city when he was suddenly ambushed by Ethiopian troops.

It turned out that the Ethiopian commander saw that the Chinese Emperor had powerful naval artillery support and knew that defending Djibouti would be a delivery of vegetables, and that all the Chinese Emperor's shells would be fried into dried meat.

So, the commander of the Egyptian army adopted the evacuation tactic. After the Chinese Empire Navy stopped shelling, he quietly sent troops to sneak back to Djibouti city, and quietly lurked in the ruins, waiting for the Chinese Emperor to rush in and fight an ambush.

Although Emperor Chinese was ambushed, he was originally a pioneer reconnaissance battalion unit and had strong combat power. Faced with the ambush of Egypt troops several times that of his own, he resisted stubbornly and retreated, and fled out of the tiger's mouth and quickly retreated to the defensive position on the beach.

The Egyptian army then chased closely, but after chasing for a while, they found that the Chinese Emperor had built a beach defensive position in such a short time. They charged several times for a while, but it was difficult to conquer and could not drive the Chinese Emperor who landed from the sea.

"Dongdongdongdongdongdong!"

On the sea, the naval guns of the Imperial Chinese Navy roared again.

Countless shells fell like raindrops and exploded with a bang. The dense explosion points were like a magnitude ten earthquake, and they were instantly overwhelmed by mountains and seas. The explosion shock wave swept through, flying sand and stones, and the smoke of gunpowder rose into the air, reaching hundreds of meters.

All of this came too quickly. Obviously, the well-trained Chinese Emperor* was already familiar with this tactic and could no longer be familiar with it.

On the other hand, the Ethiopian army thought that they could drive the Chinese Emperor out of the sea in one fell swoop, but they were counter-ambued by the Chinese Emperor.

In an instant, thousands of Ethiopian troops were swallowed by fire and smoke.

The charge rang out, and the Emperor of China counterattacked again. The troops were divided into three groups, one of which attacked head-on, and the other two groups surrounded left and right.

The Egyptian army was hit by a thunder and was defeated. As a result, they were chased by Emperor China, with corpses everywhere and blood flowing into a river.

"It is worthy of being the strongest army in the world. The Chinese Empire's Divine Army is indeed worthy of its name. This tactic and combat psychology is not arrogant or impatient even if you encounter a weak person like Ethiopia. Just lure the enemy and wipe out thousands of Ethiopian troops stationed in Djibouti. You must know that it is this Ethiopian army that has just defeated the Italian army and is considered the elite of the Egyptian army. As a result, it is so vulnerable in front of the Chinese Emperor! "

Seeing all this, Ma Zhu was also stunned.

When he heard Blair's words again, Ma Zhu felt that his face seemed to be slapped hard by someone, and his face was blushing like a monkey's butt, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The next day at sunset, the Chinese Emperor* completely controlled Djibouti.

A large number of heavy equipment and supplies were transported ashore one after another, and the endless joint ventures were like a green ocean.

During this attack on Ethiopia, the Chinese Emperor* dispatched a formal army division, and a town of army had already taken the World Railway and transferred to the Red Sea coast through Baghdad, and arrived in Djibouti a week later.

The Chinese Emperor* was not in a hurry to pursue the Ethiopian army to expand its results, but instead rebuild the city of Djibouti.

This made Blair and Mazhu feel deeply worried, because they understood that the Chinese Empire was preparing for a long-term war! It was a rhythm that would not leave!

The news came back to Downing Street and the Palace of Versailles, and British Prime Minister William and French Emperor Napoleon III immediately had a phone call.

On the phone, both of them were deeply worried about the purpose of the Chinese Empire to send troops to Ethiopia, and suspected that the Chinese Empire planned to establish a naval base in Djibouti, probably to block the Red Sea estuary and block the Suez Canal in disguise.

Both of them knew very well that once the Suez Canal was blocked, the British, French and Russian navies would not be able to directly enter the Indian Ocean from the Mediterranean.

"We must fully support Ethiopia!"

"The Chinese Empire must not be allowed to gain a firm foothold in Djibouti!"

"They can't be allowed to build a military base!"

The top leaders of Britain and France reached an agreement to fully support the Ethiopian army, intending to drive the Chinese Empire out of Djibouti.

As a result, Djibouti, a small place in the mouth of the Red Sea, was finally elevated to a strategic location in the eyes of the Allies and the Allies, and became a must-fight place.
