In the western waters of Huacang, there is said to be a kingdom living on an island.

Mo Zhen had come into contact with them before, and a great battle had broken out between the two sides. Mo Zhenqi lost a move, and the other side completely closed the sea area around them, prohibiting Mo Zhen's ships from passing.

Mo Zhen sent a document which stated it very clearly.

If you want to expand overseas, you have to open the door of this kingdom, otherwise it will be difficult to take the first step.

The document was passed around several times before it finally reached Chai Su's hands.

Just waiting for his order.

Hua Cang will once again embark on the road of external conquest.

The Huacang Navy has begun to take shape, with 300 battleships of more than 10,000 tons, thousands of destroyers of 6,000 tons, and many types of landing craft.

Many have been officially upgraded to the second generation. Traditional artillery has been greatly improved, with a faster rate of fire and a wider fire coverage. The number of gun positions on both sides of the hull has been reduced, and nine main guns and twelve secondary guns have been retained. A close-range rocket launcher and anti-aircraft gun have been added.

Chai Su thought about it.

I feel the time is ripe to explore the unknown ocean.

…

In this operation, Xia Hong is the supreme commander and Mo Lingshu is the deputy commander.

The First Fleet, with more than one hundred warships, was a mighty force.

"How many miles is it to the Barlow Sea area?"

Xia Hong spoke.

After a while, the electronic screen showed that the radar scanner had detected the dense green dots around it.

Later, some ships reported that their ships had been hit by unidentified creatures.

"That's a siren... The Guna cattle tribe lives in this area. They have violent temperaments and are known as water buffaloes. Don't try to drive them away with cannonballs, as that will only make them more aggressive..."

Mo Lingshu explained, and Xia Hong frowned.

"what to do?"

"Quickly pass..."

Xia Hong nodded. The two sides had been cooperating for some time and had established a basic relationship of trust with each other. He immediately ordered the fleet to increase its speed.

…

Half an hour later, they saw a small black dot on the horizon.

It was more like an island.

Similarly, the radar detector also scanned a group of unidentified objects thirty nautical miles away.

It is a small red dot and is very conspicuous.

This is a fleet.

"Want to strike first?"

Mo Lingshu asked.

"certainly."

Xia Hong smiled.

"Lock on the target position and fire at full force."

The order was quickly passed down and all warships quickly entered a state of combat readiness.

"Target location locked..."

"Adjust the main gun's angle...left thirty, up sixty..."

"Secondary guns..."

"Report, the firepower system is ready."

"Fire!"

"yes!"

boom!

The enemy was within effective range, and thousands of shells were fired simultaneously, directly covering the enemy's fleet.

"fight back!"

The other side also made a strong counterattack, but there was a big gap in firepower and numbers between the two sides. After only a short battle, three ships of the Morris Kingdom's fleet were sunk by the other side.

More than one hundred ships of the Huacang fleet gradually deployed their formation and lined up in a row.

This is only Huacang's first fleet, and there are also the second and third fleets, but just based on this power, the psychological defense line of the Morris Kingdom's fleet has completely collapsed.

“Retreat… Retreat!”

They retreated, fleeing in panic.

And notify the land forces to prepare for defense.

Huacang's First Fleet consists of not only battleships, but also strategic supply ships and transport ships. The transport ships are not powerful in terms of firepower, but they are big fat men with empty bellies. The hull has a large space and can accommodate ten Type 99-04 tanks, which are light tanks specially prepared for landing operations. They can also accommodate two hundred fully armed soldiers and five landing craft.

…

The Kingdom of Morris quickly received the news and the whole country was in an uproar.

This is an island kingdom with a population of over a million. It is the overlord of this sea area. In fact, there are no other powerful kingdoms around. The fleet they formed can often only bully some small tribes that mainly rely on fishing.

Today we have encountered a tough opponent. Oh no, it is not just a tough opponent. If we are not careful, it will be a crisis of national destruction.

The entire kingdom entered a level one war preparedness, but fortunately they had built a solid fortress defense line along the coast.

They waited with bated breath, and the first thing they saw was the fleet of their kingdom.

"The enemy is coming, prepare to fight! Prepare to fight!"

Just as their fleet was approaching, Hua Cang's fleet also appeared. One hundred warships were lined up in a line. This scene was extremely visually impactful.

"Artillery cover!"

After the enemy entered the effective range, Commander Qiongtu gave the order.

The artillery positions built along the coast turned their guns and aimed at Hua Cang's fleet.

Bang!

There are hundreds of firing points along this coastline alone, and hundreds of shells are fired in one salvo.

…

"Pass the order down and prepare to land."

Xia Hong's orders were passed down one by one.

Dozens of transport ships opened their mouths wide, and five small landing craft were launched, each carrying forty soldiers.

Dozens of landing craft advanced along the way.

"Covering fire."

Bang!

The gun barrels of all the warships were aimed at the coastal defense line, and the main targets were the turret forts. In fact, these targets were large and easy to hit.

The Kingdom of Morris did not have a complete air force, and they even arrogantly believed that they did not need air power to make the surrounding areas surrender.

The landing craft was very fast and reached the beach in just a few minutes.

The hatch opened wide and more than two thousand soldiers rushed out. They needed to find cover quickly before being hit by intensive fire.

Bang bang bang.

As expected, the enemy had already discovered them and fired dense bullets, and dozens of soldiers fell in a pool of blood.

"There's a machine gun position at three o'clock. Shoot him down!"

A soldier stood behind a rusty steel frame carrying a rocket launcher, waiting for the opponent to finish a round of shooting and change the magazine. Then he stepped sideways and raised it to aim at the machine gun position.

boom!

The rocket whizzed out and directly blew up the firing point.

"go ahead!"

boom!

The warships were also providing fire support, bombing several artillery positions on the shore. Less than ten minutes later, the second batch of reinforcements arrived, and more than one hundred 99-04 amphibious tanks successfully landed on the shore.

As they advanced all the way, and with the powerful firepower support of the water fleet, a hole was completely torn in this line of defense.

More than 10,000 enemy soldiers lost their fighting spirit and fled in panic.

Compared with the well-equipped and highly skilled Huacang Navy, the army of the Morris Kingdom was of no avail even though it had an advantage in numbers.

They successfully landed on the eastern coast of the Kingdom of Morris.

"Notify the Second and Third Fleets docked at Heili Island that they can proceed."

"yes."

…
