Chapter 436 God bless the emperor, Yingyi is here! (Please subscribe, please vote)

December 24, 1832, the night of the birth of Brother Jesus.

Solomon Sea.

Fleet 103, flagship, Kongming large light cruiser.

Hong Renkun, an observer from Huaxian County, Guangdong Province, looked up at the stars in the sky, then made a sign of the cross on his chest, clasped his hands together, bowed to the west, and prayed in a low voice in Mandarin with a Hakka accent: "Heavenly Father, Emperor God"

, Brother Tian, ​​Lord Jesus, please bless me, Hong Renkun, from Huaxian County, Guangdong, for my meritorious service, so that I can get extra points in the future to be admitted as a martial arts scholar at the Naval Academy. When the time comes, I, Hong Renkun, will be able to honor my ancestors, and I will definitely build gold for my heavenly father and brother in the future.

Body, Amen!”

This young Hakka man from Guangdong named Hong Renkun turned out to be a believer in the God Worshiping Society. Oh, speaking of this God Worshiping Society, I have to mention Zhuge Zhongshan again. His hometown was very wary of the missionary activities of the Roman Universal Church.

After the unification of southern China, Macau was immediately taken back, and the "Order of the God Worship Association" was issued, announcing that the various God-worshipping sects in the Ming Dynasty would be unified into the God Worship Association, and incorporated into the Ming Dynasty's monk, Taoist and official management system.

And this God-worshipping meeting is carried out in Guangdong, Fujian, and Jiangnan under the care and care of the monks of Shaolin Temple, the Celestial Masters of Longhu Mountain, the Great Lama of Snow Region, and the strategists of the Zhuge family who have no plans.

Activities to spread the gospel of God the Father.

Of course, with the care and care of the Zhuge family’s military advisors, the image of the Heavenly Father Emperor is also different from that in the West. Basically, the Jade Emperor changes his clothes, and the Heavenly Brother Jesus also becomes the image of the Jade Emperor’s crown prince. However,

Unlike the historical God-Worship Society, which was regarded as heretical by both Western Protestant and Old Orthodox churches, today’s God-Worship Society is a branch of Christianity on par with the Universal Church in Rome, the Rakshasa Orthodox Church, and the Anglican Church.

From time to time, the great masters of the God Worship Association will visit Rome, Moscow, and London to exchange experiences on worshiping God, but no one dares to say that they are heretics.

In the conference room of the Kong Ming, Guo Xiaobao, who served as the admiral of the team for the first time, was standing with his arms folded and leaning against the window blocked by thick curtains. He saw his staff officers pointing at the charts and discussing calculations, with a dark face.

It's getting darker and darker.

After receiving the order from Zhuge Weidao to search and ambush the British fleet, he took his cruise team out of Truk Lagoon and headed south into the Solomon Sea!

The Solomon Sea is an extremely fragmented sea area with thousands of islands dotted among them, called the Solomon Islands. For the 103rd Fleet (also known as the Pacific Fleet), which only has armored cruisers, large light cruisers, second-class cruisers, and destroyers.

For the three teams), setting up an ambush in this area to block the main force of the Royal Navy is undoubtedly the best choice.

But the premise is that the main force of the British Royal Navy has to go north through the Solomon Sea. If they go through the New Guinea Sea, then Guo Xiaobao will be in vain!

However, Guo Xiaobao is not completely unsure. He chose the Solomon Sea after careful consideration. First, the Solomon Sea is located in the middle of the three main channels from the waters near Australia to Pearl Harbor. If he bets on the wrong money,

, he would most likely be able to catch up in time if he immediately changed course and pursued them; secondly, the New Guinea Sea and the waters east of the Solomon Islands were relatively "clean", making it difficult for Guo Xiaobao's fleet to "hide"; thirdly, Guo Xiaobao was now using "pretending to be a pig"

The "tiger-eating" plan! A pig that dives into the broken waters of the Solomon Islands looks more like a "weak" pig! If it is placed carelessly in the New Guinea Sea or the open sea east of the Solomon Islands, it will look like a group of pigs.

What should I do if the British paper tiger, a hunter carrying a powerful torpedo, is too scared to come?

In fact, the strength of Fleet 103 is not weak at all. This fleet has two "Heroes", four "Kongming", six "Strongers" and 18 "Guards", a total of 30 cruisers and destroyers! Although there are no battleships,

Battlecruisers are big guys, but these 30 cruisers and destroyers are all "heavy mine type". They are all equipped with 530 mm or 630 mm caliber medium or heavy gas steam torpedoes. Their lethality in night operations is extremely amazing.

.

In addition, these 30 ships are extremely fast and can completely hit and run if they throw out the torpedoes in their hands and there are enemies chasing them!

In order to have a greater chance of finding the British fleet in the fragmented waters of the Solomon Islands, and at the same time make himself appear weaker. After Guo Xiaobao led the fleet into the Solomon Sea, he scattered 30 ships into

There are 6 formations, each formation is a hero or a Kongming, plus a warrior and three escorts, a total of 5 cruisers and destroyers. Although there are only 5, they are not afraid of having hundreds of them.

Ships of the British Grand Fleet.

Because according to reliable intelligence, the "Pigeon" aircraft obtained by the British from the Austrians could not carry bombs at all, so they could only undertake fleet air defense and could not deal with surface ships at all.

The speed of "Hero", "Kong Ming", "Strong Man" and "Guard" cannot be caught up by the British battleships, armored cruisers, second-class and third-class cruisers. Only their destroyers can catch up. But that kind

A destroyer of less than 1,000 tons and without long-range torpedoes cannot deal with the powerful "Haohan", "Kongming" and "Strong Man", nor can it catch up with the "Guard" after firing all its torpedoes.

It can be said that Guo Xiaobao has now calculated everything that can be calculated and installed everything that can be installed. According to the report of the 2nd Squadron of the 103rd Fleet this afternoon, their seaplanes are already in the Coral Sea in the southwest of the Solomon Sea.

A large British formation was discovered. As for whether the British will come to the Solomon Sea, we can only leave it to fate!

Thinking of this, he turned around and opened the curtains a crack. The scenery outside the window was good, full of stars, and the bright moon hanging high. It was perfect weather for a night battle and torpedoing. If the British didn't come, it would be a waste!

At this moment, Hong Renkun was holding a telescope and looking around seriously in the foremast cage of the Kongming. Suddenly, a hazy black shadow swept across! He subconsciously shouted: "There is something wrong!"

"What? What? Where?" Feng Yilong, who lives in the same hometown as Hong Renkun and is one year older than him, is also an observer. He was working the night shift with him tonight. He was a little drowsy just now when he was suddenly struck by his "Hong"

"Brother" was shocked.

"There, there, at 11 o'clock, about 10,000 meters away. It seems to be a big ship!" Hong Renkun said excitedly, "Thank you, Heavenly Father, God, thank Heavenly Brother, Jesus, Amen!"

Feng Yilong also made a sign of the cross on his chest - in fact, there are not many believers in the God Worshiping Society, but the Huaxian area in Guangdong Province became one of the resettlement places for the Portuguese who surrendered to the Portuguese after King Zhuge Wuzhong ordered people to regain Macau.

The Society of God spread there.

After making the sign of the cross, Feng Yilong also raised his telescope and looked over. What came into view was an armored cruiser. What a big fish!

"God bless you, the Yingyi are here!" Feng Yilong roared, immediately picked up the phone and loudly reported: "The Yingyi armored cruiser was found, the distance is more than 10,000, 11 o'clock direction!"
Chapter completed!
