These news was not beyond the expectations of the headquarters, but when interrogating the German prisoners, they received important information. It turned out that a fleet was sent from the German man to China, consisting of twelve warships and seven transport ships, with a total army of about 20,000, while the army had about 8,000 people. The day before yesterday, the fleet had arrived in Guangzhou and should have arrived in Tianjin as soon as possible according to the itinerary.

When everyone heard this news, they were moved. It was not scary to reach the twelve warships, but the 8,000 German Army was not to be regarded as the strength of the German Army until the end of World War II. Whether it was the individual quality or the tactical use of the army, they were well-deserved as the world's number one. Whether it was the Soviet army at that time or the US army, they were inferior to the German army in both aspects.

In these two aspects, the only thing that can be compared with the German army is the PLA of that era. However, these two armies have never competed on the battlefield, but relatively speaking, the German army is more convincing in terms of military performance. After all, the German army fought all over Europe and fought with the four countries of the United States, the Soviet Union and Britain and France. Although it ultimately failed, it was indeed a crime of non-war. The PLA's record was mostly achieved in civil wars, but it only showed its hideousness on the Korean battlefield, but it also shocked the whole world to know that Europeans knew that this ancient Eastern country, which had been poor and weak for more than a hundred years, could have such a powerful army. However, a considerable number of people in China have always admired the combat effectiveness of the German army.

At this time, Qin Zheng immediately turned on his tablet computer and said while flipping through it: "According to the historical process in another time and space, Germany did send a fleet from its homeland to China. Of course, the purpose was to gain greater benefits in China. They arrived in Tianjin on September 6, and there were still 18 days left. The commander-in-chief of this fleet is the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance, the German Marshal Wadesi."

Shang Jinfeng said: "Political Commissar, the Eight-Nation Alliance has now entered Beijing, and the commander-in-chief of the Eight-Nation Alliance is still on the way. Has the Eight-Nation Alliance been fighting without the Commander-in-Chief?"

Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Yes, in fact, Wadesi is just the commander-in-chief in the famous prose. Because German Minister Decklin was killed by the Qing army in Beijing, Germany took advantage of the moral convenience, so he won the position of commander-in-chief. In fact, the Eight-Nation Alliance did their own things. As a result, before Wadesi arrived in Beijing, the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing." After a pause, Qin Zheng said, "After Wadesi arrived in Beijing, he had a romantic history with Sai Jinhua, a famous prostitute in Beijing at that time. This period of erotic history was recorded in the famous books such as "The Strange Situation of Twenty Years of Witness", "The Smoke and Clouds of Beijing", "The Sea of ​​Scarlet Flowers", "Nine-Tailed Turtle" and other books, but according to research, this is just an exaggeration of the art of the family, and it is actually a matter of nothingness."

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and Shang Jinfeng said, "Political Commissar, what kind of warship was sent by Germany this time?"

Qin Zheng looked at his tablet and said, "The flagship is the armored cruiser Count Bismarck, and the others include the battleships Brandenburg, Wools, the Election Emperor, the Iron-Crafted Ship Saxon, Byrne, Fertenburg, Baden, the protective cruiser Queen Louise, Ferya, the coastal defense cruiser Ziegfred, and the Heimdal."

Wang Hailong said: "Earl Bismarck? There is also a warship called Bismarck now?"

Shang Jinfeng said: "What's so strange about this? Naming warships with celebrities is a tradition in European and American countries, and the title of old Bi Iron-blooded Prime Minister is not for nothing. Therefore, it is not new to have a warship named after Bismarck at this time."

Xie Fuzhan interrupted and said, "The Iron-clad ship Saxon? I remember this ship should be the Dingyuan of the Beiyang Navy and the prototype ship of the Zhenyuan."

Wang Hailong also said: "Yes, I have this impression, too."

Shang Jinfeng said: "What are the performances of those battleships and armored cruisers?"

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know this, because when the German fleet arrived in China, the actual battle had ended. Therefore, I only have the names of these warships, but there is no detailed information, and I don't know their data and performance."

Shang Jinfeng frowned and said, "That's a bit troublesome. If we don't know the performance of the German ship, how can we arrange the corresponding tactics?"

Wang Hailong said disdainfully: "No matter what kind of warship he is, we are all unafraid of coming. And even if the Bismarck battleship in World War II came, we can still sink it."

Qin Zheng said: "It can't be said that. Although we have all-round advantages, it is still necessary to understand the opponent's strength clearly. Only by knowing ourselves and the other can we win every victory. Only by understanding the opponent's strength can we have targeted tactics and knowing which missiles to use to deal with them. However, we don't have information here, which does not mean that others don't have it. Now there are more than 6,000 people here, and maybe someone has collected information on this. You must know that the current military enthusiasts collect no less information than us, let alone so many games, so tomorrow we will issue an announcement on the passenger and rolling ship to see if anyone knows the information about these warships."

Xia Bohai said: "I can give it a try, but although we are not afraid of the German fleet, our situation is not good now. Therefore, the battle to attack Tianjin must be accelerated. Otherwise, when the German fleet arrives in Tianjin, we will be in a situation of being attacked from both sides."

Qin Zheng said: "But now all preparations have just been confirmed. I think it will take three days to come to an end at the earliest. Therefore, if we want to attack Tianjin, we will have to wait until three days later."

Xiao Jianjun said: "Three days are only three days. Didn't the German fleet arrive until the 6th? It must be time to go, and there is still a lot of preparations to attack Tianjin. The information is not enough now. We need to collect further. Let's ask those who have been released by us to see if anyone is familiar with Tianjin."

Qin Zheng raised his head and said, "The Zhao Weizhong who was rescued by us has worked in the Tianjin Machinery Bureau for many years. He should be very familiar with the situation in Tianjin. After a while, the drone printed out the photos from Tianjin, I will go to Zhao Weizhong and learn about the situation in Tianjin."

Xiao Jianjun said: "I have already had a basic idea of ​​attacking Tianjin, which is a night attack."

Xia Bohai Road: "Night attack?"

Xiao Jianjun said: "Yes, the details are to use helicopters to carry some elite troops to the city of Tianjin at night, cooperate with the troops attacking outside, and attack inside and outside, and break through Tianjin City in one fell swoop." After a pause, he further explained: "Through the last two battles, night battle is our greatest advantage in this era. Whether it is naval or land battle, urban battle is another advantage in land battle. Tianjin is a city, so airborne to the city at night is our best choice and we can fully utilize our advantages. Of course, this is just a preliminary concept. The tactical details of the whole body need to be further studied, and of course more information is needed."

Xia Bohai sank for a moment before saying, "I think this plan is feasible, but the plan you envision is that we will take the initiative to attack Tianjin. Have you ever thought about whether the Eight-Nation Alliance stationed in Tianjin takes the initiative to attack Dagukou? How can we deal with it? This situation is not impossible. There are now 5,000 Japanese troops and more than 20 artillery in Tianjin. At the same time, they are backed by Beijing as support, and they have the strength to counterattack Dagukou."

Xiao Jianjun said: "If the Eight-Nation Alliance really takes the initiative from Tianjin City, it would be a big deal. We can just annihilate the live power of the Eight-Nation Alliance in the field and then attack Tianjin, which can reduce the difficulties we will attack Tianjin."

Xia Bohai said: "But how many advantages do we have when fighting field battles with the Eight-Nation Alliance? Our army lacks sufficient troops and lacks heavy artillery support. It is too risky to engage in field battles with the Eight-Nation Alliance."

Xiao Jianjun laughed and said, "Not we have the information advantage of being inconsistent, and field battles can also be carried out at night. Although we lack heavy artillery, we still have more than a dozen amphibious tanks, which can be used as firepower support. In addition, we have more than a dozen helicopters' air advantage. If we first use helicopters to conduct air strikes on the Eight-Nation Alliance at night, then bombard the amphibious tank artillery, and finally use the field tank joint attack, especially 5,000 people, even 50,000 people can't withstand such a strike. Therefore, I really hope that the Eight-Nation Alliance can launch an attack."

Xia Bohai was over. Xiao Jianjun was worthy of studying tactics, so he quickly made different response plans for various situations. He smiled and said, "Okay, it seems that Lao Xiao is confident." Then he looked at everyone and said, "Okay, today's meeting will be over here. Everyone will go back to prepare for the battle."

After hearing this, everyone stood up one after another. At this time, a guard walked in, holding a roll of paper in his hand, and said, "Report to the chief, the photos sent back by the drone have been printed out." He then handed the roll of paper to Xia Bohai.

Xia Bohai took the paper roll and spread it on the table. There were two printed photos in total. The format was about a1-large drawings, all of which were taken by aerial photos. One was taken from Tianjin City, which was quite accurate. The streets, houses, and even pedestrians on the street could see very clearly. The other one had a wider range, taking all the areas around Tianjin City, and Tianjin City had about one piece of paper a4 in the picture.
