Chapter 948 Naval Showdown

New continent, south of the “world bridge” connecting the Black Sea and the Broken Star Sea.

xiu! xiu! xiu!

The orange red flames that lit up in an instant joined together, almost re-illuminating the fading sky in the evening, and rockets shot into the sky like lances thrown by Vulcan.

Pounce on federal positions eight kilometers away.

[Bazooka·Hesokin’s Justice Iron Fist]

dukedom’s [221 rapid-firing cannon] imitating [Sac-made·M217 rapid-firing cannon] also fired synchronously, sending raindrops of shells All poured over the heads of the federal people.

The biggest hero among them is the [Treasure Girl] named “Ziluo”.

Her body is the first [purple lacquer inlaid snail and fish and algae pattern golden box treasure box], which is the most primitive root of human civilization.

With Olivia’s promotion to [Truth Representation], the power of a group of [Treasure Girls] has also been enhanced by the first officer, especially Ziluo’s fundamental ability [Civilization sage].

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 cracked, copied, and inferred by her.

Alwin also gave her a very apt nickname “Do what you do for what you do”!

However, when the [221 Rapid Fire Cannon] joined the battlefield under the catalysis of the [Industrial Mother Machine], the “King of Land Warfare” who ruled the battlefield had already fast-forwarded to the [Bazooka].

At this point, Alwin has also fulfilled his rhetoric when he was a guest arms dealer:

“In the future battlefield, we must vent steel and flames, not soldiers.

Leaving countless craters on the enemy’s position, allowing people to jump from one crater to another with a terrifying density, this is the great art of changing geography with artillery fire!

Sufficient logistics The protection plus the firepower coverage that does not talk about martial arts, the two words are just one word – blow up Laozi!”

At this time, the time has come to the second half of the 221st year of the Haiyuan calendar, and the confrontation on the western front After the stalemate on the battlefield, it has become a “mill of flesh and blood” that has wiped out millions of lives.

A lot of chaos occurred on the Eastern Front because of the indiscriminate entry of the “Regeneration Legion”. But as long as an adequate supply of oil can be guaranteed, the high command did not expect any major results from Hoimar.

The Atlan Republic on the northern front has been in decline, and the limited cruiser fleet in its hands has been destroyed by the Phalatis Navy one after another.

If it weren’t for the opponents on the Tulip Sea, as well as the Low Countries and the Sark Empire, Atlan’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 Territory were also bad luck.

The only thing that is fortunate is that after the war, countries have successively adopted international conventions such as the “Ransom Rule” and the “Black Sea Convention”.

It is required that all parties in the naval battle shall not kill the crew members and provide safe means of evacuation for the crew members when taking military actions against the enemy’s unarmed merchant ships.

In layman’s terms, it is okay to grab the ship and grab the goods, but you must ensure that “you need money, not your life.”

This situation is much more advanced than the previous “when you arrive at Jiangxin, do you want to eat noodles or wontons (hack to death or throw water)”.

And on the battlefield of a decisive new continent.

The Vice-Royal District of La Plata, which had survived the Cyrus Empire for 30 years, has fallen as a whole, and the Vice-Royal District of New Granada in the north has become the main battlefield between the Dukedom and the Federation.

It was also a Civil War not just in name only, but also in reality.

The population of dukedom has risen from 12.2 million people at the beginning of the westward movement to 54 million people at a high natural growth rate of 5% per year. Moreover, the population structure is excellent and talents are emerging one after another.

Even if Alwin has nothing to do, the Army has begun to brew a major counteroffensive on its own, with young faction officers gearing up for the ultimate strategic goal of unifying the entire 42 million-square-kilometer new continent.

Build an unprecedented Great Empire on Herag!

However, before that, the fleets of both sides had ushered in their own decisive naval battle.

Deep in the Broken Star Sea, on the north side of the Eastern Second Islands.

The Federal Fleet has a total of 99 battleships: 16 full-heavy artillery battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 78 fast cruisers, divided into two formations, traveling from south to north, and cruising in the sea 12 submarines.

The dukedom fleet consists of 151 battleships: 28 battleships of all levels, 9 battlecruisers, 112 fast cruisers, 1 minelayer, 1 seaplane carrier.

At this moment.

The flagship of Garriott dukedom is no longer the 【Super Fearless Class Crown Prince】, but the temporarily unique and unmatched 【Heroes of King Power】.

[Basic parameters]: 263 meters long; 38.9 meters wide; 73,000 tons of full-load displacement; 2,400 crew members; 22,895 tons of armor protection; speed: 32 knots.

[Power]: 12 oil-fired boilers, 4 steam turbines, the main engine output power is 153,000 horsepower, the oil storage capacity is 6,400 tons, and the transmission is 4 shafts.

[Arms]: Three triple-mounted 45x caliber 460mm naval guns, a total of 9; four triple-mounted 60x caliber 155mm naval guns, a total of 12; 12 double-mounted 127mm naval guns 24 guns in total;

45 triples, 21 single 25mm guns, 156 in total; two double 13.2mm machine guns, 4 in total; two quadruple 533 guns mm torpedo tubes; 7 carrier-based aircraft.

The main materials of [Heroes of Kingship] are [titanium alloy] and [large tow carbon fiber], even in Alwin’s previous life, this is the pinnacle of the age of a giant ship and cannon.

On the other side, for the Commonwealth.

The bankers are no doubt committed to creating wars and making the [International League of Democracy] governments desperate to borrow money. Normal people see blood, bankers see money.

It’s just that they are greedy, but they haven’t forgotten that martial power is the foundation of their financial empire’s rule.

Especially after 20 years of constant friction, they also realized that at the current level of technology, battleships and stronger battleships are the way to go, and everything else is wrong.

In line with this concept, the flagship [Light of Democracy] built by them with all their efforts in the country is also not to be underestimated.

[Basic parameters] Captain: 253.6 meters; Ship width: 36.0 meters; Displacement at full load: 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-shaft propulsion.

【Arms】Four twin mounts with a total of 8 380mm naval guns; six twin mounts with 12 150mm naval guns; eight double mounts with a total of 16 105mm naval guns; eight twin mounts 16 37mm anti-aircraft guns; 6 20mm anti-aircraft guns; 18 quadruple 72 20mm anti-aircraft guns; two quadruple 533mm torpedo tubes; 4 carrier-based aircraft.

Beep—!

The thick smoke billows, and the steel creation representing the pinnacle of human technology and martial power overwhelms the sea, covering the sky, and even those bloodthirsty broken Star Sea sea monsters are running away.

da da da .

Before the fleet engaged, the air forces on both sides were engaged in intense aerial firefights. Man-made aircraft replaced the Far Ancient Era, the active wyvern of the Sea Territory, breathing flames in the sky.

War is the best catalyst for weapons and tactics, and Air Force tactics are rapidly maturing in battle.

They took advantage of altitude, speed, tactical maneuvers, etc. to come to the rear of the enemy plane, and then fired from the nose. The “tail biting” mode has become one of the most basic tactics in air combat.

And Dukedom’s ace pilot, La Falbury, further improved this tactic.

The formation of at least six “horned eagle fighters” circled and climbed in a circle during the flight, so as to gain a height advantage to attack, known as the “Lavery Circle”.

Wow—!

Above the fleet, there are constantly aircraft pulling black smoke from in the sky, falling into the sea and exploding.

[The Halberd of King Power] In the bridge as tall as a mountain, Alwin “Avatar”, wearing a marshal’s uniform waist and crotch [the sword of a gilt lion in a female shell], waved his hand high-spirited and vigorously :

“It’s been so many years, it’s not easy, it’s finally time for us to crush the enemy ships with our superior forces. Order: The whole fleet, the squadron line formation, let me catch up Go, kill him!”

“Crown Prince received!”

“White Moonlight received!”

“Red Rose Number received!”

“Sharpshooter received!”

“.”

Suddenly, a discordant voice came from the radio waves, From the cruiser in charge of reconnaissance in front of the fleet:

“Report! An unknown battleship was found at 8 o’clock, 25 kilometers away! That is a sail battleship!”

【心spirit net Network] has been synchronized to the access screen.

Wow—!

An antique-class sail battleship that has been very rarely seen in this era is sailing past the periphery of the battlefield from east to west, forming a triangle with the fleets of the two countries.

There are a total of six extremely thick masts in the front, middle and rear. The sides of the ship are covered with layers of black armor like scales and huge fingernails, with an extremely cold metallic luster.

The total length is 269.06 meters, the width is 28.19 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 bigger than the [King’s Halberd], it is a sail battleship, it is better to say that it is a ferocious prehistoric giant beast.

And it seems to be afraid of being invisible to others.

Not only did they swagger past the fleets of the two countries that were about to fight, but also uttered a sigh of the deceased from the inside of the hull.

“Alas—!”

Overwhelmed by some kind of sadness as if everything was withering, a line of tears shed in the eyes of a total of more than 100,000 army soldiers from the two countries.
