Opening game, American Tycoon

The largest battle fleet in history is heading towards each other, and the largest sea battle in history is about to start!

After 27 years of Sidley, almost all the articles describing this sea battle in the world will say so.

But even the most imaginative people can't imagine the way in which War Day kicked off.

On November 11th, in the middle of the night, as the reconnaissance airship discovered the traces of the United Fleet, the officers in the Imperial Navy Department became busy.
"Airship No. 503 has sent a telegram, and the main force of the United Fleet has entered Sea Area 332."

"That's exactly what we were looking for,"

The vice admiral staring at the map said:
"Based on the current position of the fleet, let's see where they will encounter our fleet."

"Here, General."

A colonel and staff officer then drew a black X on the chart.

"Sea Area 332, this is just right to implement Plan No. [-]. I hope that the mission goal can be achieved, so let's order "Jing Ke" to attack."

……

The Trindade and Martinwas Islands are the easternmost islands of the empire's mainland, a full 1150 kilometers away from the mainland.There are no traces of people here, as islands formed by submarine volcanic eruptions, whether it is Trindade Island or Martin Vas Islands, the island has steep cliffs, huge rocks, exposed rocks, and rugged terrain. Only a few central mountains are covered with grass and low mountains. Dwarf shrubs, no trees grow, because it is far away from the land, and the land is desolate, and no one has patronized it for a long time.It was not until ten years ago that the Navy established a marine weather observation station here, but only dozens of naval weather officers and radio soldiers were stationed here.

However, eight years ago, as part of the war preparation plan, this desolate island, where even fresh water needs to be transported from the mainland, entered the sight of the Imperial Navy.

In the 20th year of Sidley, the Imperial Navy’s engineering troops entered Trindade Island. After several years of hard work, they built as many as six torpedo boat caverns on the island with an area of ​​only 10.3 square kilometers. secret base.

In the past few years, only a handful of people knew of its existence. It was not even until a month ago that the torpedo boat unit entered the secret base and began training in the nearby waters.

But, that's it.

The specifications of each torpedo boat cavern on the island are very similar. There is a hidden waterway leading into the sea, and the cavern can accommodate six to ten torpedo boats!
Since the empire invented the torpedo boat, its tonnage has only been around [-] tons.

Although the torpedo boat is small, it is a weapon that is feared by the enemy. Its torpedoes can even sink capital ships.

A single torpedo might sink a battleship if it could hit.

The vast majority of torpedo boats are steel-ribbed wood-hulled boats. Even in this era of armored ships, torpedo boats still stick to wooden hulls.

Why use a wooden shell?

Because the wooden shell is light enough.

The structure of torpedo boats in all countries in the world is similar. It is a small sampan equipped with two to three high-power gasoline engines and carries two to four torpedoes.During the battle, the crew must rush to the side of the enemy warship with the determination to die together, and then flee quickly after launching the torpedo. Success depends not only on courage, but also on luck.

In fact, for the Imperial Navy, the establishment of the torpedo boat force in the early years was due to the weakness of the navy, so torpedoes were used as a trump card to play an unexpected role. However, with the service of submarines, it seems unnecessary to establish and expand the torpedo boat force up.Especially with the launch of powerful battleships, the Navy seems to look down on torpedo boats.

But things are not absolute. In the 23 years of Shengde, the Navy still designed the most advanced torpedo boat of this era - the Type 21 torpedo boat. Although it is only 60 meters long and the tonnage is only 38 tons, it has four high-power gasoline engines. With a top speed of [-] knots, it can be called the fastest ship of this era.

Smaller and faster, it means that Type [-] and [-] torpedo boats can play more roles in naval battles, but limited by their tonnage, they can only be used for offshore defense. In fact, the mission of torpedo boats is also offshore operations. For the navy In other words, the torpedo boat is actually a navy dagger, a dagger used for self-defense!

Although the gasoline engine used by Type [-] and [-] torpedo boats makes the space in the cabin of the speedboat larger, the living conditions here are actually very bad. When sailing, they can only sleep in the cabin full of gasoline smell Yes, when you relieve your hands, you can only squat on the side, grab the rope and expose your buttocks to the sea. If a big wave hits, if you don't hold it firmly, you will fall into the danger of the sea.

Nevertheless, over the years, the sailors of the torpedo boat unit have known their mission well - they are the contemporary Jing Ke!

Tuqiongdagger presents the contemporary Jingke who dares to rush to the enemy ship with a dagger in hand.

Half a month ago, the Trindade base entered combat readiness, and all the torpedo boat soldiers were waiting for orders, waiting for orders to attack.

At 23:37 that night, after the operator of the "Jingke Base" received the telegram, alarms sounded one after another in the six caverns. speedboat.

"All speedboats, ready to attack..."

The sailors who jumped on the deck pulled the anchor at the same time.The windlass rattled, and the four gasoline engines of the speedboat started one after another.

Then, one after another, the torpedo boats slowly sailed out of the cavern. When the torpedo boats sailed out of the cavern, because the wind and waves rolled up by the sea wind were too strong, those huge waves that could engulf the small boat kept sweeping over. The boat shook back and forth, left and right.The officers standing in front of the compass table on the boat grabbed the pillars around them with one hand and issued instructions. If they let go, they may be swept into the sea.

These speedboat soldiers wearing torpedo boat assault raincoats just let the sea water hit their bodies like this. Although the waves blocked their sight, the weather made everyone smile.

"It's a beautiful day!"

When the waves hit her face, Lin Xianyu smiled and spoke.

It was indeed good weather as the waves hid their tracks.

As soon as he finished speaking, another big wave came!

In this way, the torpedo boats swarmed in and out of the waves, and sometimes the propellers were exposed in mid-air, but the torpedo boats shuttled through the wind and waves did not slow down, and they all looked desperate.

"The whole team accelerates to 30 knots, and the target is the 332 sea area!"

From the light signal from the first boat commanded by the captain, Lin Xianyu read out the content of the signal, the 332 sea area is... um, almost four hours away from here, and it will be midnight when we get there.

Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, the dark clouds cover the stars and the moon in the base, this is indeed a good weather!Although, the wind and waves were a bit big, it was really a perfect night.

A night suitable for hunting.

"As long as they get closer to 300 meters, God will rescue them, and they will only have a dead end!"

Lin Xianyu thought so in her heart. In the past few decades, the torpedo boat force has carried out countless night attack exercises. Facts have proved that as long as you are bold enough, you will definitely have the opportunity to approach within 300 meters and carry out lightning strikes.

That distance... is absolutely fatal!And it's one-hit-kill!
