Chapter 271(2/2)

"There are not enough large-scale construction machines now, and they are being transferred here from China. It is estimated that they will almost arrive next month!

My father is planning to build a large permanent military port in Marrakech, including a repair shop with a dry dock.

And it requires the ability to repair large ships such as aircraft carriers!

Not only that, my father also made an agreement with the Portuguese. We can own the port of Porto, from which we can reach Ireland and the British mainland to the north.

From there, you can threaten the entire Atlantic coast of Europe. Second uncle, your navy is finally going to kill the British."

"I read the briefing on this matter, but the telegram didn't go into detail.

Spain and Portugal have both surrendered, so are we going to take action against Gibraltar?" Li Xiu is very obsessed with Gibraltar.

The painful lesson of losing five destroyers last time was still fresh in his memory.

Unexpectedly, the huge naval fleet was stumped by mines.

This battle was regarded by Li Xiu as the disgrace of his life.

"It's almost time. The Army is still preparing. Cao Wenzhao asked for a fight, and my father let him go.

Three more 970mm mortars were transferred to him from China, specifically for bombarding Gibraltar's permanent fortifications.

Now the troops and artillery have not arrived, but the vanguard is building a starting position.

My father's intention is to wait for your navy to take a rest before moving forward to blockade the waters of Gibraltar.

Keep the British Navy from supporting Gibraltar's Army Forces!"

"The British are trying to create a navy again?" Li Xiu was surprised.

Since the destruction of the European Combined Fleet headed by Israel, it seems that the entire European navy has no ships left.

"The British have built quite a lot of them. There are more than forty battleships. Aerial reconnaissance found that there are two battleships alone.

There are also eight cruisers and about thirty destroyers."

"Grandma, the British are pretty good at hiding. It's only been two years, but so many have been produced?"

"We didn't get it by sacrificing the army. There are only so many resources in the UK. How could we build so many ships without sacrificing the army.

However, these warships are like chickens and dogs in front of my second uncle.

Tomorrow, your carrier-based aircraft will take off from Algiers and transfer to Marrakech.

The navy will take a rest and repair the British navy.

Even if we can't defeat Gibraltar, we still have to trap them alive!"

"Humph! Don't worry about things at sea. No one can be our rival.

But as for things on land...is Gibraltar so difficult to defeat?"

"It's difficult to fight! We were actually sloppy last time, and the insider recently sent out a defense map.

That place has been under construction since the Middle Ages, and we continued to do so when we visited. In the past two years, the British have occupied it, and they have continued to do so.

They are all reinforced concrete fortifications. Some of them are simply dug out of the mountain. From the ground to the bottom, there is a layer of reinforced concrete that is ten meters thick.

Also, the above-ground fortresses and hidden fortresses are connected together. The trenches are also made of reinforced concrete. Because of the terrain, there is basically no water!

There are many hidden forts on the mountain, with more than 2,000 artillery pieces ranging from large 480mm howitzers to small-caliber mortars.

It is said that the mountains below Gibraltar were hollowed out.

The reinforced concrete building with more than ten floors stores a large amount of food, medicine and ammunition.

The British claim that they can persist for two years, but insiders say that there will be no problem for three years. This is without external assistance!

Second uncle, if we hadn't lost the navy last time, as long as we landed on Gibraltar, it would have been a meat grinder.

A lot of people will die! We all think too little about Gibraltar."

Thinking of the British army's defense plan sent from the inside, Li Lin felt a chill go down his spine.

If the Marines attack rashly, it will definitely be an extremely bloody and tragic battle.

The Navy really blocked the Marine Corps.

"I have no control over matters on land. The failure to defeat him is Zuo Liangyu's problem. I only care about the sea!

Damn it, I didn’t expect the British to come up with a fleet again.

If you really give them time, they might even be able to build an aircraft carrier.

No, after this time the British shipbuilding industry must be completely abolished. From now on, as long as the British can build some small fishing boats.
