The scientists from the mainland were organizing the modification information one by one in an orderly manner. Wu Wuze accompanied Commander Xiao and observed for a while.

As the scientists sorted out the data, they excitedly discussed it, their faces filled with joy and excitement.

Wu Wu watched from the side, feeling both proud and a little sad.

After all, he was still in the mainland not long ago. Even though he has come to the new city now, the mainland is still his hometown. He sincerely hopes that the mainland will develop better and better.

Wu Wu and Commander Xiao quickly left the room where the information was stored. They walked side by side, talking to each other as they walked.

Commander Xiao suddenly said, "You are not in a hurry to leave, are you? How about we have a real combat exercise so that I can see with my own eyes how powerful your soldiers are."

Wu Wu hesitated for a moment before answering, "I need to apply to Xincheng for this question. I can only give you a definite answer after getting approval."

Commander Xiao smiled and nodded to show his understanding.

Afterwards, they continued walking down the corridor, talking about other topics.

You know, the only warships currently available on the entire continent are of several thousand tons, and they have no actual combat experience.

This is why Commander Xiao wanted to promote this exercise so much, because he hoped that the mainland navy could take this opportunity to learn, understand the development direction of Xincheng, become familiar with the actual combat capabilities of this battleship, and make some preparations for the mainland to receive its own battleships in the future.

That afternoon, Wu Wu sent a telegram to Xincheng through the high-power tower on the battleship, proposing to them the mainland's ideas and application for military exercises.

This news soon reached Wu Yi. Wu Yi frowned as he looked at the telegram. He didn't know whether he should agree to this request.

After much hesitation, he finally gave the news to Wang Ze.

Wang Ze didn't worry about it. In his eyes, an exercise didn't matter at all. After all, it was with the mainland, so there was no need to think too much about it. The relationship between the two sides was still very good.

So he agreed readily.

The reply of approval soon reached Wu Wu, and he received it on the same day.

As soon as Wu Wu received Xincheng's reply agreeing to the military exercise, he immediately began to discuss the military exercise with Commander Xiao.

The first target identified was a joint strike operation, and the location was chosen to be an island belonging to the mainland in the offshore area, with the aim of practicing important subjects such as covering artillery bombardment, air defense, and landing operations.

Wu Wu originally planned to return home, but due to the urgency and importance of the matter, he had to postpone his trip.

After all, as the supreme commander of the fleet, he couldn't possibly miss this joint military exercise. If he dared to leave, he felt that the patriarch would lock him up in a small dark room when he returned.

The order was quickly issued to soldiers on both sides, and the entire fleet immediately began intensive preparations.

Since it involved landing operations, the cabins of the two landing craft were filled with a variety of supplies.

These supplies need to be reorganized and properly stored in the naval port warehouse to ensure safety.

At the same time, some tanks and vehicles from the mainland were transferred to the base the next day.

When they arrived at the base, they were quickly loaded onto the landing ship.

Since most of the mainland's current tanks are light tanks with relatively small size, a landing ship can accommodate more equipment.

The first landing ship carried 21 tanks, while the second one carried only two tanks, with the remaining cabin space used to carry trucks and other equipment.

This arrangement makes full use of the ship's cargo capacity and improves the efficiency and combat effectiveness of landing operations.

It’s not that the mainland doesn’t want to load all the tanks, but that the surrounding areas can only mobilize so many at once.

The mainland also sent its own four destroyers and two submarines to participate. The two sides formed a formation to conduct the exercise, and the preparations were planned to be completed in three days.

This plan has attracted widespread attention from senior officials of mainland organizations, and many relevant generals have come to the Dalian Naval Base to observe this first joint exercise between New Zealand and China.

The preparation work was not that easy, after all, it was the first exercise for both sides. Taking this into consideration, the organization handed over several of its own ships to the naval members transferred back from Xincheng. After all, they had been in Xincheng for so long, and they would be able to cooperate better and complete the exercise perfectly.

Wu Wu did not bother with the organization's affairs, but discussed the exercise matters with the captains of the ships on his side.

Some of the captains below suggested conserving their strength and there was no need to be so serious.

Wu Wu rejected this idea. The clan leader had already said that he would cooperate, so there was no need to hide anything. Xincheng was not afraid of exposing its strength anyway. In his opinion, only by exposing its strength would those interested forces avoid misjudgment.

Three days later, as scheduled, early in the morning, the ships on both sides formed a formation.

The core is naturally Xincheng's battleship, with three destroyers in front and behind forming a combat defense circle around the battleship.

The four mainland ships were sailing within the defense circle.

There was a mainland submarine on underwater alert in front and behind the fleet.

The fleet soon arrived at the designated sea area.

In the battleship's command room, Commander Xiao and other mainland personnel were also here.

They did not interfere with Wu Wu's command, but observed quietly from the side and made some notes from time to time.

Wu Wu looked at the nautical chart and saw that the target island was not far away and was within the attack range of the battleship.

So he turned to look at Commander Xiao and asked, "Shall we start now?"

Commander Xiao said solemnly: "You can treat us as nothing. We will not provide any opinions or suggestions for this exercise. We will only participate as spectators."

Wu Wu nodded his agreement without hesitation and responded, "Okay, then follow my pace."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of continuing to speak, Wu Wu turned around, picked up the radio, and issued an order to the fleet: "I solemnly declare here that the attack exercise has officially begun. All warships are requested to carry out operations strictly according to the predetermined plan."

Following his order, the fleet quickly changed into battle formation, with the warships arranged in an orderly manner.

The battleships began to move forward like a group of ferocious beasts, while other destroyers patrolled the surrounding waters, closely monitoring the situation around them.

All kinds of reconnaissance equipment on the ship were fully activated to conduct all-round detection of the air, sea surface and seabed to ensure the safety of the fleet.

The protagonist of this battle is the battleship Neustadt, because within the current distance range, it is the only one capable of attacking the island.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, the battleships' guns fired at the same time, huge tongues of flames spewed out of the muzzles, and the shells whizzed towards the target.
