Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 948: Navy battle
New World, the southern side of the "World Bridge" connecting the Black Sea and the Broken Star Sea.
Shoo! call out! call out! call out! ....
The orange-red flames that lit up in an instant became a piece, almost re-illuminating the fading sky in the evening, and the rockets rose into the air like a spear thrown by the Vulcan.
Pounced on the federal position eight kilometers away.
[Bazooka·Hexokin’s Righteous Fist]
The [221 rapid-fire gun], which imitated the [Sark-made M217 rapid-fire gun] in the Principality, also fired simultaneously, dumping raindrops of cannonballs all over the federal people's heads.
The biggest hero among them belongs to the [Treasure Girl] named "Purple Snail".
Her body is the first [Purple Lacquer Inlaid Gold Box with Fish Algae Pattern] as the most primitive root of human civilization.
With Olivia’s promotion to [Concrete Truth], the power of the [Treasure Girls] has also been greatly enhanced, and the fundamental ability of the Purple Conch [Civilized Sages] is even more so.
Effect: As long as it is in the material world, the technology developed with the technology in the box as the ultimate source can be easily deciphered, copied, and inferred by her.
Aven also gave her a very apt nickname, "Return to the other body"!
However, when the [221 rapid-fire gun] joined the battlefield under the catalysis of the [industrial mother machine], the "king of the land warfare" who ruled the battlefield had already fast-forwarded to the [bazooka].
So far, Aiwen has also realized his bold words when he was a guest arms dealer:
"In the future battlefield, we must vent steel and flames, not soldiers.
Leave countless craters on the enemy's position, which can make people jump from one crater to another with a terrifying density. This is a great art of changing geography with artillery fire!
Sufficient logistical support plus firepower coverage that doesn’t speak martial ethics, nothing more is just one word-to blow up Laozi! "
At this time, the time has come to the second half of the 221st year of the Haiyuan calendar. After the stalemate on the Western Front, the confrontational battlefield has become a "flesh mill" that wipes out thousands of lives.
A lot of chaos appeared on the Eastern Front because of the chaos of the "Rebirth Army". However, as long as a sufficient supply of oil can be ensured, the high command did not expect Heymar to achieve any major results.
The decline of the Atlantic Republic on the northern front line has become apparent, and the limited cruiser fleet in hand has been severely destroyed by the Falettis navy one after another.
If it were not for the rivals of the Tulip Sea, as well as the Lowland Republic and the Sark Empire, Atlant’s navy would be zero again.
During this period, the three parties were killed in the Black Sea, the Treasure Sea, and the Eritrean Sea. Of course, the merchant ships in these major sea areas also suffered bad luck.
The only good news is that after the war, countries have successively passed international conventions such as the "Ransom Rule" and the "Black Sea Pact".
It is required that all parties in a naval battle should not kill or injure the crew when taking military actions against the enemy’s unarmed merchant ships, and provide the crew with safe evacuation methods.
In layman's terms, it's okay to grab the ship or the goods, but you must make sure that you want money and not life.
This situation is much more advanced than the previous "When you arrive in Jiangxin, do you want to eat noodles or wontons (hacked to death or poured water)".
On the decisive battlefield of the New World.
The Deputy Royal District of La Plata, where the Hilius Empire survived for thirty years, has been completely occupied, and the Deputy Royal District of New Granada in the north has become the main battlefield between the Principality and the Federation.
It was also a veritable Civil War.
The population of the Principality has risen from 12.2 million people when the Westward Movement just started, with a high natural growth rate of 5% per year, soaring to 54 million people, and the population structure is excellent, and talents are constantly emerging.
Even if Ivan has nothing to do with his own hands, the army has already begun to prepare a major counteroffensive on its own. The young and strong officers are gearing up, and the final strategic goal formulated is to unify the entire 42 million square kilometers of the new continent.
Build an unprecedented empire of Hrag Star!
However, before that, the fleets of both sides had already ushered in their own decisive battle at sea.
In the depths of the Broken Star Sea, on the north side of the East Two Islands.
There are 99 battleships in the Federal Fleet: 16 all-heavy artillery battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 78 fast cruisers, divided into two formations, traveling from south to north, and there are submarines patrolling in the sea 12 Ship.
The Principality fleet has a total of 151 battleships: 28 battleships at all levels, 9 battlecruisers, 112 fast cruisers, 1 mine-laying boat, and 1 seaplane mothership.
At this moment.
The flagship of the Duchy of Galliot is no longer the [Super Dreadnought·Prince], but the temporarily unique [King Power Halberd].
[Basic parameters]: Ship length is 263 meters; ship width is 38.9 meters; full load displacement is 7,300 tons; crew: 2,400 people; total armor protection weight is 22,895 tons; speed: 32 knots.
[Power]: 12 oil-fired boilers, 4 steam turbines, main engine output power of 153,000 horsepower, oil storage capacity of 6,400 tons, and 4 shafts.
[Weapons]: Three triple-mounted millimeter naval guns, a total of 9; four triple-mounted millimeter naval guns, a total of two 127mm naval guns, a total of 24;
45 triple-mounted, 21 single-mounted 25mm naval guns, a total of 156; two double-mounted 13.2mm machine guns, a total of 4; two quadruples with 533mm torpedo tubes; 7 carrier-based aircraft .
The main materials of [Halbertooth of Kings] are [Titanium Alloy] and [Large Tow Carbon Fiber]. Even in Ivan’s previous life, this is the pinnacle of the era of a giant ship cannon.
On the other side, for the Federation.
Bankers are undoubtedly committed to creating wars and let the governments of the [International Democratic League] borrow money desperately. What a normal person sees is blood, what a banker sees is money.
It's just that they are greedy, but they have not forgotten that force is the foundation of their financial empire.
Especially after 20 years of continuous friction, they also realized that at the current level of technology, battleships and stronger battleships are the right way, and all the others are crooked ways.
In line with this concept, the flagship [Democracy Light] that they have made all the efforts of the whole country is also not to be underestimated.
[Basic parameters] Ship length: 253.6 meters; ship width: 36.0 meters; full load displacement: 52,900 tons; crew: 2,600 people. Maximum speed: 30 knots.
[Power]: 12 high-pressure heavy oil boilers; 3 steam turbine engines; maximum stable power: 150,000 horsepower; 3-axis propulsion.
[Military Equipment] Four dual-mounted 380mm naval guns; 6 dual-mounted millimeter naval guns; 8 dual-mounted millimeter naval guns; 8 dual-mounted millimeter anti-aircraft guns; 6 20mm Anti-aircraft guns; 18 quadruple-mounted millimeter anti-aircraft guns; two quadruple-mounted 533 mm torpedo tubes; 4 carrier-based aircraft.
Beep--!
The thick smoke billows, the iron and steel creation that represents the pinnacle of human technology and force overwhelms the sea and obscures the sky, and even the bloodthirsty star-smashing sea monsters are running desperately.
DaDaDa...
Before the fleet joined the battle, the air power of the two sides had already begun a fierce air exchange. Man-made flying machines replaced the active flying dragons in this sea area in ancient times, spitting flames in the sky.
War is the best catalyst for weapons and tactics, and the tactics of the Air Force are rapidly maturing in battle.
They used various advantages such as altitude, speed, and tactical maneuvers to come to the back of the enemy aircraft, and then fired from the nose. The "tail biting" mode has become one of the most basic tactics in air combat.
The ace pilot of the Principality, Rafbury, has made further improvements to this tactic.
The formation of at least six "horned eagle fighters" circled a circle and climbed high during the flight, so as to gain altitude advantage to attack, which is called the "Rafferbury Circle".
Woo--!
Over the head of the fleet, there are constantly flying vehicles pulling black smoke from the sky and falling into the sea and exploding~IndoMTL.com~The Halberd of King Power] On the tall bridge like a mountain, wearing a marshal's suit waist crotch [Mother's shell is golden and golden lion’s Sword]’s "Clone" of Aiwen, waved his hand vigorously:
"It’s been many years. It’s not easy. It’s finally time for us to crush the enemy ship with our superior force. Order: The whole fleet, the squadron line formation, catch me up and kill him. Clean!"
"Prince received!"
"White Moonlight Received!"
"Red Rose received!"
"The Sharpshooter received it!"
"....."
Suddenly, a disharmonious sound came from the radio waves, from the cruiser in charge of reconnaissance in front of the fleet:
"Report! An unknown battleship was found at eight o'clock, a distance of 25 kilometers! It was a...sail battleship!"
[Mind Network] has synchronized access to the screen.
Huh--!
An antique-class sailing warship, which has been very rare in this era, is passing through the periphery of the battlefield from east to west, forming a triangle with the fleets of the two countries.
There are six extremely sturdy masts in the front, middle and rear. The sides of the ship are covered with layers of scale-like black armor, glowing with extremely cold metallic luster.
The length is meters, the width is meters, the draft is 10.5 meters, the height from the waterline to the deck is 18.3 meters, the displacement is 52,310 tons, and the speed is 24 knots.
The size is larger than [Halberto of Kings]. It is better to say that it is a sailing warship than a ferocious prehistoric beast.
And it seems to be for fear that others will not see it.
Not only swaggering past the two large fleets that are about to be at war, but also from the hull of the ship, a deeply suppressed sigh of the deceased was heard.
"Hey--!"
Surrounded by a certain sad mood, a line of tears were left in the eyes of more than 100,000 naval soldiers of the two countries at the same time.
