The Marines were in such a panic when they withdrew from Shiwandashan!

Even worse than when the Russian army withdrew from Grozny!

Geng Jingzhong's experience was even more miserable than that of Shang Zhixin.

The natives who sniped him were more elite. And they also had more rifles!

These people launched night attacks when it was dark, and during the day they laid mines and fired black guns along the path of the Ming army.

Whether it was an enemy attack or a black gun attack, they were all small groups of enemies. Sometimes, after finally catching up with the fleeing enemy, there were only three or two of them.

There were also times when, chasing after them, they ended up in the enemy's encirclement.

The Ming army relied on their sharp weapons, while the rebels relied on their familiarity with the terrain.

The place where the rebels led the Ming army was called a desperate place.

An entire company of Marines were made dumplings like this.

If the reinforcements hadn't arrived quickly, the entire army might have been destroyed.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty Marine Corps, no unit has ever been completely wiped out.

Geng Jingzhong almost made history.

The two unlucky guys were very helpless, but they had to report the news of their defeat to Li Xiao.

"The Navy has been bragging all day long about how awesome their Marines are. That's it...!" After reading the battle report, Mr. Ao angrily threw the battle report on the table.

"Haha! Even if you send a division to fight this kind of battle, there is nothing we can do.

In a jungle guerrilla war with these natives, victory is a fluke, but failure is inevitable." Li Xiao was helpless after reading the battle report.

Jungle warfare is difficult to fight. One division has a lot of heavy equipment and is a heavily armored force. It is not suitable for use in mountainous areas.

"Nonsense! Let us come with one division and wipe out three provinces for you in one go." Mr. Ao waved his hand and said very imposingly.

"Forget it! If you can't wipe out the situation, it will be great if you can send your troops into the war zone.

Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guizhou are all mountainous areas.

Not only fighting, but also marching will be a problem for your troops on such terrain. Just stay calm!

The task of annihilating the rebels should be left to the Second Division. I believe that the Second Division is better off playing jungle warfare."

"Hmph!" Mr. Ao let out a heavy "hum" in his nostrils. After expressing his dissatisfaction, he walked towards the sea with his surfboard under his arm.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

Outside Sevastopol Harbor, several warships sounded their whistles.

On the sea, there is a battleship as high as a mountain moored. This is the latest battleship King David to join the Israeli Navy!

This battleship has a displacement of 70,000 tons.

Floating on the sea, it looks like a steel monster.

The thick main gun barrel is dark and can accommodate a soldier inside to cool down.

There are countless artillery pieces on the side string of the battleship. Long and short ones, forming a crossfire.

This is a mobile steel fortress on the sea!

For this steel fortress, the Hebrew plutocrats paid a price of 16 million Ming silver coins to invite back this steel behemoth.

Today is the day for the King David and five other destroyers to be commissioned.

The Kingdom of Israel finally has a navy today.

Eli Marome is beaming, today is his big day.

Just three days ago, he assumed the position of commander of the Israeli Navy.

These steel monsters that are about to join the fleet are under his command.

"Avery, these ships were bought from the Ming Dynasty at a huge price.

You need to take the boys to get familiar with them as soon as possible. I always feel that Daming doesn't want to endure it anymore.

They may attack us, but the army alone cannot attack Sevastopol.

Next year, more than a dozen warships will join the fleet, and we will defeat the Ming fleet off the coast of Sevastopol."

"Commander, give me three years. I will lead the boys to patrol these battleships, then control them and send the people who built them to the bottom of the sea."

Eli Marum's words were full of excitement!

The Ming Navy has been rampant in the world for many years, and the total tonnage of the world's navy is not as high as that of the Ming Navy.

A powerful navy was the basic guarantee for the Ming Dynasty to dominate the world.

Once upon a time, they looked at the Ming Dynasty's giant battleships with only shock and envy.

But he never thought that he would be able to control such a battleship one day.

Such a steel behemoth is undefeated, if according to the plan, two battleships will be put into service next year and the year after.

Israel has three battleships, which is only two less than the world-famous Ming Empire.

And I heard that the two battleships being built by the Ming Dynasty are being prepared for sale.

If those two ships are also bought, then Israel will have the same number of battleships as Ming Dynasty.

As a naval officer, Eli Marome knew the power of battleships very well.

In front of this kind of battleship, the destroyer, which seemed very powerful, was as small as a small sampan.

This steel behemoth has a depth of thirty-eight meters in draft alone. From the bottom of the keel to the top of the main mast, the total height exceeds sixty meters.

"Woo!" A long whistle blew from the battleship King David, bringing Eli Marum back to reality.

Under the midday sun, the King David was slowly docking at the Sevastopol pier.

In other words, Sevastopol is a natural deep-water port, otherwise ordinary docks would really not be able to accommodate this behemoth.

As soon as the King David docked, a large group of high-ranking officials and dignitaries could not wait to board the battleship to have a look.

When the Israeli citizens on the periphery saw that the country had such huge weapons, they immediately cheered like a tsunami.

The King David lowered its gangway, and Ben-Gurion was the first to step up.

This ship is not so much made of steel as it is made of silver coins.

If you include the kickbacks given to the wife of the commander of the Ming Navy, the price paid by the Hebrew world for this battleship was a full 20 million Ming silver coins.

Ben Gurion wants to take a closer look and see what he bought for twenty million silver coins.

Captain Winter stood at one end of the gangway and warmly greeted the Minister of Defense.

"Winter, show me this ship. Also see if those Ming people taught you how to control it.

In order to train you, the Ministry of National Defense paid a lot of money to the evil Ming people."

Ben Gurion patted Captain Winter affectionately on the shoulder.

The King David was sold to Spain by the Ming Dynasty. It stands to reason that it should help train some technical personnel.

To this end, Israel has sent people to Madrid half a year in advance to learn how to control warships with the Ming Dynasty Navy.

But Daming gave full play to his money-seeking nature. Not only did he refuse the buyer's request, but he also claimed that if you like this ship or not, I would not drink from your northwest wind even if I sell it.

There was no other way but to follow Daming's requirements and once again spend a large amount of training fees on these people.

"My lord, please rest assured.

The young men I recruited are all purebred Hebrews.

Each of them was full of enthusiasm and desire for the restoration of the nation of Israel.

Also, they are all very good sailors.

This is my first mate Orlan, before he became my first mate. As a captain, he once commanded a destroyer in the British Navy."

Winter pointed at a tall and thin man next to him and said.

Seeing Winter introducing himself to the big boss, Orlan quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Winter was also a member of the British Royal Navy. Later, after the establishment of the state of Israel, he was one of the first Hebrews to surrender to Israel.

Due to his bravery in combat, he gradually became Ben Gurion's loyal supporter.

This time, Ben-Gurion also pushed him to the throne of captain of the battleship King David against all objections.

Otherwise, in terms of his qualifications in the navy, he is not as good as the captain as the first mate.

"Take me to see this ship." It was the first time he boarded such a large warship, and Ben Gurion was curious about everything he saw.

"Of course, sir, please come this way." Orlan saluted these important figures again, then took the lead and walked towards the cockpit.

The ship looks very big, but the passages in many places are very narrow.

Many places can only accommodate a certain number of people passing through.

After passing through a long and narrow corridor, we suddenly saw the spacious cab and command room, and everyone felt their eyes light up.
